Experts in Mould Removal St Ives

Mould starts when tiny particles called spores land on surfaces and find a damp environment. They grow and multiply by feeding on materials like wood or fabric. As mould matures, it releases more spores that can float in the air or move to other surfaces, spreading the mould problem to new areas.

To prevent mould from coming back, it's important to keep things dry and address any moisture issues promptly. Fix leaks and clean up spills right away, while also improving airflow and ventilation in your home. Regular cleaning, especially in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and kitchens, helps prevent mould growth. By staying proactive and maintaining a clean, dry environment, you can effectively prevent mould from returning.

To determine if there is mould in the walls, we can create an inspection hole and use our specialised equipment to inspect inside the wall cavity for mould growth. Additionally, our IR cameras can help detect signs of possible water intrusion behind walls or surfaces, which could indicate mould growth within the walls. These techniques allow us to accurately assess the presence of mould and take appropriate measures for remediation if needed.

We offer a 12 month guarantee that the mould will not return to the property, as long as all necessary repairs are made and the recommendations are followed as outlined in the inspection report or we will come back and retreat the area free of charge.
