Find the cause first
A proper investigation before any remediation: moisture readings, thermal imaging where it helps, and inspection of the roof, fabric and services.
Service 05 — Damp, mould & ventilation
Damp, mould
& ventilation
Finding the actual cause and fixing it — not treating the surface and waiting for it to come back.
In short
Damp and mould is the area where treating the symptom is most tempting and least useful. A mould wash and a coat of anti-mould paint will look fine for a few months. We survey to find the source — a roof, a gutter, a bridged cavity, a failed seal, or simply not enough ventilation — and put that right.
Investigation
Fabric
Fix what's letting water in
Roof and rainwater repairs, repointing, render repairs, cavity and DPC issues, failed seals and thresholds.
Ventilation
Fix what's keeping it in
Extract fans, trickle vents, positive input ventilation and roof-space ventilation, sized for the property rather than fitted to a standard.
Remediation
Mould treatment and reinstatement
Treatment, replastering where needed, and redecoration so the household gets the room back in usable condition.
Residents
A household, not a case number
These cases are often distressing and sometimes long-running. A named contact, clear explanation of what we found, and honest timescales.
Reporting
Evidence for your compliance file
Survey findings, works carried out, photographs and post-works checks, in a form that stands up if the case is escalated.
