Frequently asked questions
How to Get Rid of Mould?
The first action for many when cleaning mould is to use a cloth and simply wipe away the mould from the affected area with soap and water. Whilst this can improve appearances and provide a temporary cosmetic fix, it does not address the damage. In some circumstances, mould stains wall surfaces and furnishings, which will then require additional mould removal solutions.
There are many D.I.Y mould cleaning products available to get rid of mould and to stop it from returning, but these solutions often only tackle part of the problem. To prevent mould from developing, a professional solution that combines effective disinfection and sanitisation is advised.

How long does mould removal take?

What Is Black Mould? The Causes, The Risks, And How to Remove It Safely
Black mold is a dark-colored fungus commonly found in damp, humid, or water-damaged areas such as bathrooms, ceilings, walls, and poorly ventilated rooms. It thrives where moisture is left untreated and may contribute to musty odors, allergies, respiratory irritation, and unhealthy indoor air quality. Safe black mold removal involves identifying and fixing the moisture source first, isolating affected areas to prevent spore spread, using proper protective equipment (gloves, masks, and goggles), and applying suitable antimicrobial treatments. Professional mold remediation is recommended for extensive contamination to ensure safe cleaning, proper drying, and long-term prevention of mold regrowth.
Is mould removal safe for children and pets?
Yes, mould removal can be safe for children and pets as long as the products used are labeled as non-toxic, eco-friendly or are specialised products and proper precautions are taken. As part of our service,trained technicians use safe products, and throughout the cleaning and treatment process. We utilise air purification units with HEPA 13 filters to provide fresh, purified air, ensuring that the area is well ventilated and safe to re-enter once the work is complete, keeping your children and pets safe.
Do I need to leave the property during the mould removal process?
Not always, for larger or heavily contaminated areas, you may need to be temporarily advised to not enter the premises to avoid breathing in mould spores but for small scale residential treatment, you can often stay. Our team will explain everything beforehand and ensure safety throughout the process.
What is mould and how to prevent it?
Mold is a type of fungus that grows in damp, humid, and poorly ventilated areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, wardrobes, and walls affected by leaks or rising damp. Besides damaging property, indoor mold can contribute to musty odors, allergies, respiratory irritation, and poor indoor air quality. Preventing mold starts with proper moisture control — fix water leaks quickly, improve ventilation, reduce indoor humidity, dry wet surfaces promptly, and ensure bathrooms and kitchens have adequate airflow. Professional mold inspection and remediation are also important for identifying hidden moisture sources and preventing recurring mold growth in homes and commercial space and often we use dehumidifiers and air scrubbers to help in the process
Will you identify the source of the mould as part of the service?
Microscopic mould spores are present in the air, indoors and outdoors. For mould to form, it requires the ideal conditions such as dampness, warm humid air and food source. Once spores land on a damp surface, they begin to germinate and grow. To stop mould for good, you need to remove the source of mould to treat the problem fully.
As part of our mould remediation service our technicians carry out a detailed assessment to determine the likely cause of the mould and can offer guidance to help prevent future growth.
