Mould problems are rarely solved by surface treatment alone. In most buildings, mould develops as a result of excess moisture, condensation risk, ventilation limitations, or concealed water ingress. Our work focuses on understanding these conditions before any remediation is recommended. We assess how moisture behaves within the building and how materials, airflow, and occupancy contribute to mould growth. This allows us to provide clear, proportionate advice based on evidence and practical building science.
Our services are focused on understanding why mould is present within a building and how moisture, materials, and ventilation contribute to its development. We start with inspection and moisture assessment, then provide proportionate recommendations based on evidence, not assumptions.
Mould remediation
The process begins with inspection and moisture assessment to understand why mould is present and to identify the extent of affected materials.
Where required, containment measures are used to limit the spread of dust and debris during remediation works and to protect unaffected areas.
Mould-impacted materials are removed under controlled conditions. Remaining surfaces are cleaned using physical removal methods focused on reducing residual contamination.
Where appropriate, fine particulate cleaning may be carried out following remediation to address settled dust and residual debris associated with historic mould exposure.

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.
