Is mould always caused by condensation?

Not always. Mould often follows condensation, but leaks and penetrating damp can also contribute. We assess the cause so the solution isn't just temporary.

Black mould and mildew are common in bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and colder external-wall corners. Treatment alone isn't enough if the underlying moisture problem remains, so we focus on both removing mould safely and reducing the conditions that cause it.

If you suspect the mould is linked to condensation, see our condensation control page - we often address both together.

Common signs of mould problems

We provided clear prevention guidance for the tenant and landlord.

FAQs - Mould removal

Is mould dangerous?

Mould can aggravate allergies and respiratory conditions. If you have vulnerable occupants, it's best to deal with mould promptly and reduce the underlying moisture issue.

Why does mould keep coming back after cleaning?

Because the conditions remain the same (humidity, cold surfaces, poor extraction, restricted airflow). We focus on prevention so it's not a never-ending cycle.

Can you help prepare walls for redecorating?

Yes. We can advise on the right preparation and paint systems (including stain blocking) once the mould has been treated and the moisture cause is addressed.
