Mould Removal in Tower Hamlets

Damp & Mould in Tower Hamlets’s Housing Stock

London's densest-growing borough layers Victorian terraces in Bow and Bethnal Green, a vast estate legacy from slum clearance and the Blitz, and the towers of Docklands and the City fringe. Overcrowding rates are among the highest in England, and the damp caseload splits accordingly: occupancy-driven condensation in period terraces and older estate blocks, disrepair in aging council-built stock, and ventilation-commissioning failures in airtight new-build flats.
