Find the Cause of the Mould, Not Just the Visible Symptoms
Black mould and recurring mould growth can often indicate that excess moisture is present within the property.
Cleaning or painting over the affected area may improve its appearance temporarily, but the mould can return if the conditions that allowed it to develop are still present.
Possible causes can include condensation, poor ventilation, penetrating damp, leaks, cold surfaces or other moisture-related problems.
An onsite mould inspection allows the affected areas and surrounding conditions to be assessed before deciding what remedial work may be appropriate.
- Black mould on walls or ceilings
- Mould around windows
- Mould behind wardrobes or furniture
- Recurring mould after cleaning
- Heavy window condensation
- Damp or musty smells
- Peeling paint or wallpaper
- Visible damp patches alongside mould

Why Does Mould Develop in Properties?
Mould can develop for several different reasons. Identifying the underlying moisture source is important before deciding how the problem should be treated.
Condensation
Warm moisture-laden air can condense on colder surfaces and create conditions in which mould can develop.
Poor Ventilation
Insufficient ventilation can allow moisture produced inside the property to remain trapped rather than escape.
Penetrating Damp
Moisture entering through walls, roofs or external defects can sometimes contribute to damp conditions and mould growth.
Water Leaks
Plumbing, roofing or drainage leaks can introduce moisture into walls, ceilings or other areas of the property.
Cold Walls
Cold surfaces can be more susceptible to surface condensation, particularly where humidity levels within the property are high.
Other Damp Problems
Not every mould problem has the same cause. An onsite assessment helps determine what may be contributing to the problem.
Proceed With the Work? Your £120 Is Credited
Your £120 payment covers the mould and damp inspection service. Following the inspection, the appointed contractor can provide a separate quotation if remedial work is recommended.
There is no obligation to proceed with that quotation.
Signs You May Need a Mould Inspection
Recurring mould can indicate that the moisture conditions supporting the mould have not been resolved.
Recurring Black Mould
Mould that keeps returning after cleaning can suggest that the underlying conditions remain present.
Heavy Condensation
Persistent water on windows, walls or other surfaces can be a sign of high indoor moisture levels.
Musty Odours
Persistent musty smells can sometimes accompany damp and mould problems, including in less visible locations.
Mould Behind Furniture
Mould behind beds, wardrobes or other large items can sometimes be associated with cold walls and limited airflow.
Peeling Decoration
Paint deterioration, staining or peeling wallpaper can occur where moisture is affecting a wall or ceiling.
Damp Walls or Ceilings
Mould appearing alongside visible dampness may indicate that a wider moisture problem requires investigation.
Other Damp & Moisture Problems
Mould can sometimes be associated with condensation, penetrating damp or other moisture problems. Explore our related pages or book a mould inspection if you're unsure what is causing the problem.

Mould Treatment FAQs
Why does mould keep coming back?
Recurring mould can indicate that the conditions allowing the mould to grow are still present. This may include condensation, high humidity, limited ventilation or another source of moisture.
Can I just clean black mould off the wall?
Cleaning can remove visible mould, but it may return if the underlying moisture problem remains. Persistent or recurring mould should be investigated.
Does condensation cause mould?
Condensation can create damp surface conditions that support mould growth, particularly on colder surfaces and in areas with reduced airflow.
How much does the mould inspection cost?
The professional mould inspection costs £120. We arrange for a vetted damp proofing contractor covering your area to attend the property and assess the problem.
What is included in the £120 mould inspection?
The contractor attends your property and assesses the affected areas and likely moisture conditions. Where remedial work is recommended, a separate quotation can be provided.
Do I have to accept the contractor's quotation?
No. You are under no obligation to proceed with any remedial work recommended following the inspection.
What happens to the £120 if I proceed with the work?
If you choose to proceed with recommended remedial work through the appointed contractor, an amount equal to your £120 inspection fee is credited against the agreed cost of that work, subject to the applicable terms.
