Aidens undertakes selected projects involving water-damaged building materials, concealed mould growth and contamination requiring controlled removal and detailed cleaning. Our work is based on understanding the history of water damage, identifying affected materials and establishing the appropriate scope of work. Each project is assessed individually to determine whether our specialist services are required.
We provide specialist mould remediation, water damage investigations and post-remediation verification. Each service is undertaken according to the circumstances of the property and the work required.
Mould remediation
Review the history of moisture damage, inspect accessible areas and assess the condition of affected building materials. Where concealed contamination is suspected, further investigation may be necessary before the extent of remediation can be established.
Develop a scope of work based on the findings. Determine which materials require removal, which surfaces can be cleaned and what measures are necessary to limit the spread of contamination during the work.
Establish appropriate containment and engineering controls to minimise the spread of dust and contamination. Remove affected materials and clean remaining structural surfaces using suitable physical methods.
Following material removal, carry out detailed cleaning to remove residual dust, fungal particles and debris from the work area. This may include HEPA vacuuming, damp wiping and small particle cleaning, with the methods selected according to the materials and conditions present.

Mould is a type of fungus that grows in moist environments. It reproduces by releasing spores into the air, which settle on surfaces and start new mould colonies under the right conditions, like warmth and moisture.
Not all moulds are harmful, but some can cause health issues, especially for individuals with allergies, asthma, or weakened immune systems. Black mould, known as Stachybotrys chartarum, is particularly notorious for its health risks.
Common indicators include a musty smell, visible growth on walls or ceilings, and worsening of allergy-like symptoms indoors. Persistent moisture issues, like leaks, also suggest the potential presence of mould.
For small areas, you can clean the mould yourself using soap and water. For larger, more severe problems, or if the mould returns, it’s advisable to contact a professional.
Yes, over time, mould can break down the materials it grows on, causing damage to wood, drywall, and other building materials, potentially leading to structural issues.
To prevent mould regrowth, address the underlying moisture problem. Keep indoor humidity low, fix leaks, ensure good ventilation, and dry out wet areas promptly.
