Building Subcontractor in South East London – Damp Penetration & Bathroom Mould Remediation

The Full Story

Active Building Subcontractor Working in SE London

This damp penetration and bathroom mould remediation project was completed in Catford SE6 as part of our ongoing subcontract works across South East London.

We regularly work as a building subcontractor in Catford, carrying out damp repairs, mould treatment, bathroom reinstatement and internal redecoration for landlords, managing agents and main contractors.

This project followed repeated paint failure and mould growth caused by a leaking gutter allowing water to penetrate the external wall.

Project Overview – Damp & Mould Issues in Catford SE6

The bathroom was affected by:

  • Water ingress from a leaking gutter

  • Damp penetration to external wall

  • Widespread mould growth around window and sanitary areas

  • Paint failure due to poor previous preparation

  • Hygienic and cosmetic deterioration

We were instructed to resolve the moisture issue and fully reinstate the bathroom.
