Mould Removal Keighley

Mould & damp problems in Keighley

Keighley sits at the confluence of the Worth and Aire valleys and its housing was largely built for the town's wool and textile mills. The area's stone-built terraces, the exposed valley position and the age of much of the housing make damp and mould recurring concerns across the BD21 postcode area. A vetted local specialist familiar with the area can assess your property.

Keighley's housing and damp context

Keighley's older housing is overwhelmingly stone-built, with rows of solid-walled terraces on the valley sides. These properties were designed to cope with the area's high rainfall through breathable lime construction; where cement-based repointing, sealed renders and modern insulation have replaced those, moisture becomes trapped. The exposed, valley position means roofs and flashings are regularly tested by driving rain.

Common causes of mould in Keighley properties

• Penetrating damp driven by high rainfall on exposed, valley-side stone properties.
• Trapped moisture where breathable lime mortar has been replaced with cement.
• Condensation on cold stone walls in solid-walled terraces.
• Damp from ageing slate roofs, flashings and valley gutters on exposed properties.
