Mould Removal in Westminster

Damp & Mould in Westminster’s Housing Stock

Westminster's rental stock is unlike anywhere else in the country: stucco-fronted terraces in Pimlico and Bayswater, Victorian mansion blocks in Marylebone and Maida Vale, and a very high proportion of pre-1919 purpose-built and converted flats, including basement dwellings. Conservation-area and listed-building constraints often limit the fabric upgrades (external insulation, replacement windows) that would otherwise control condensation, so ventilation-led solutions dominate remediation work here.
