Our 4-Step Process for Professional Mould Removal
To get rid of mould successfully, you need to be careful, safe, and think about how to stop it from coming back. Our process makes sure that the problem is completely and permanently solved:
Step 1: Diagnosis and Survey by an Expert
Mould only grows in places where there is too much moisture. Our PCA-certified professionals use high-tech tools to do a non-destructive survey, which includes:
Moisture meters and hygrometers are tools that let you accurately measure the amount of moisture and humidity in the air.
Borescope cameras let you see at hidden places, including wall cavities, to find mould and insulation problems that you can't see.
We give you a full analysis that tells you exactly what caused your mould, whether it was condensation, rising damp, penetrating damp, or a problem with the structure.
Step 2: Mould decontamination that is safe and certified.
We safely get rid of mould and its spores by using professional-grade tools and biocidal substances.
Containment: The area that has been impacted is sealed off so that hazardous mould spores can't spread to other parts of your property.
Physical and Chemical Eradication: We apply particular fungicidal treatments to kill mould colonies on surfaces and get deep into materials. Then we clean the area professionally.
Air Scrubbing: We utilise air purification technology to filter out spores that are in the air and make the air inside much better.
Step 3: Finding the Cause of the Moisture
This stage is the most important one that sets a specialist apart from a cleaner. We do the required repairs to keep the moisture from coming back. Some such solutions are:
Condensation Control: Putting in or upgrading ventilation systems (such Positive Input Ventilation, or PIV) and using materials that stop condensation.
Damp Proofing: Putting in new Damp Proof Courses (DPC) or addressing problems with dampness that gets in via bad masonry or roofing.
Failed Insulation Removal: If your mould is caused by wet or sagging Cavity Wall Insulation (CWI), we know how to properly remove the bad material so that the wall cavity may dry out naturally.
Step 4: Complete restoration and protection
We fix your property once the region is dry and the source of the water is fixed.
Specialist Plastering: When necessary, re-plastering walls with materials that are salt-resistant and breathable.
Finishing Works: Professional painting and decorating to bring the space back to its original state and give it a perfect finish.
We fix common causes of mould.
The word "mould" refers to a wide range of fungi. We are experts in treating the circumstances that let it thrive in UK homes:
The Problem: Our Solution
Condensation Installing mechanical ventilation (PIV), thermal plastering, and giving advice on how to live.
Dampness Rising Putting up a chemical damp-proof course (DPC) and hiring a professional to replaster.
Damp that gets through Finding and fixing structural problems like leaks, bad render or a roof or gutter that isn't working.
Cavity insulation that didn't work Safe, mess-free Cavity Wall Insulation Extraction to get rid of moisture bridges and let the walls breathe.
