Mould investigation and remediation

We find the moisture that is feeding the mould, test what is there, then contain, remove and verify. For housing providers, landlords, insurers, estates teams and homeowners across Cambridge, London and East Anglia.

What you get

The cause dealt with

The moisture source is found and recorded first, so the mould is treated at the source and does not come back.

The real extent, on record

Sampling and void inspection show how far growth has spread, including behind finishes where nobody can see it.

Evidence it is resolved

A post-remediation assessment before handover, with records for the claim file, a housing complaint or a health and safety committee.

Mould grows where moisture stays

Visible growth is usually the end of the story. Behind it there is a leak, condensation, rising or penetrating damp, or water left behind after a flood, and the growth often extends into voids and behind finishes where nobody can see it.

If the moisture source stays, the mould comes back. So we start with the source and the extent, and we put both on record.

How we deal with it

  1. Find the source

    Moisture mapping and humidity readings, with controlled opening-up and void inspection where readings point to hidden moisture.

  2. Test

    Tape-lift, swab and air sampling, analysed by independent specialist laboratories, so the scope rests on results.

  3. Contain and remove

    Containment and negative pressure where specified, HEPA extraction, and removal of affected porous materials with documented waste handling.

  4. Verify

    A post-remediation assessment before handover, so re-occupation is based on evidence.

What you receive

Records that stand up for a claim file, a housing complaint or a health and safety committee.

  • Photographic condition survey
  • Moisture and humidity readings
  • Laboratory results
  • A written remediation scope
  • Waste documentation
  • Verification and handover records

Questions

Do you test before removing mould?

Yes. Sampling and moisture readings tell us what is there, how far it has spread and what is causing it, which sets the scope.

Who analyses the samples?

Independent specialist laboratories, chosen to suit the hazard.

Can you work while the building is occupied?

Yes. Containment, controlled access and shift working protect occupants and day-to-day operations.

Where do you work?

Cambridge, London and East Anglia.

Found mould? Leave it undisturbed.

  • Keep people, especially children and anyone with breathing problems, out of the room
  • Avoid scrubbing or spraying it
  • Call us and we will tell you what to do next
