About Damp & Mould Treatment

Roof Flashing Inspection

Check metal flashing around chimneys and vents. Corroded or loose flashing lets rainwater enter. This causes hidden damp inside ceilings and top-floor walls. Ask for a camera inspection if the roof is steep. Replace any flashing showing rust or gaps larger than 5mm to stop leaks.

Cost Factors

Price varies by area size and damage depth. A small bathroom corner costs less than a whole loft. Access fees apply for high ceilings. Complex leaks require plumber coordination. Ask for an itemized quote. Include labor, materials, and equipment rental. Avoid fixed bids without site inspection. Hidden structural damage appears after opening walls. This changes the final bill significantly.

Finding the Source

Mould treatment fails if you ignore the water source. Ask the pro to use a thermal camera or moisture meter. They must locate leaks in plumbing, roof gaps, or condensation zones. Check for black spots in corners and ceilings. If the reading exceeds 60% relative humidity, dehumidification is needed before any chemical treatment starts.

Air Leak Sealing

Gaps around windows and doors allow humid air inside. Inspect for cracks in window frames or door thresholds. Seal these using expanding foam or silicone putty. This stops condensation on cold surfaces. Ask the technician to point out specific weak spots they found during the initial site assessment.

Insulation Gaps

Thermal bridges cause condensation. Check lofts, eaves, and floor edges for missing insulation. A 50 mm gap lets cold air reach interior walls. This lowers the surface temperature below dew point. Water forms on plaster. Ask for an infrared scan to map cold spots. Adding mineral wool or PIR boards closes these gaps. This stops mould from returning next winter.

Plumbing Pressure Testing

Burst pipes inside walls cause slow, hidden damp. Ask the technician to test pipe pressure. A drop in pressure indicates a leak. Use electronic leak detectors to find the exact spot. Repairing the pipe stops the source. Ignoring this means treating the symptom while the pipe keeps feeding water.

Timeline Expectations

Simple surface cleaning takes 1 day. Complex repairs extend to 3 to 5 days. Drying time dominates the schedule. Do not rush the drying phase. If the pro rushes, mould returns. Schedule follow-up visits in 2 weeks. Check for new spots. Keep the timeline realistic. Weather affects outdoor work. Rain delays roof repairs. Plan accordingly.

Surface Preparation Steps

Proper cleaning precedes any spray application. The technician should remove loose paint or wallpaper. They must scrub affected areas with a rigid brush. Surfaces must dry completely, usually taking 24 to 48 hours. Applying biocide on damp plaster traps moisture inside. This creates darker stains later. Insist on visible drying time before the next step.

Humidity Monitoring Logs

Request before-and-after readings from digital hygrometers. Indoor humidity should stay below 60%. If it stays above 70%, condensation risks returning. Ask for a 2-week monitoring report. This confirms the treatment worked. Do not accept verbal guarantees without this written data proving environmental stability.

Plaster Replacement

Severe damp may ruin plaster integrity. If the surface crumbles when pressed, patching fails. The pro must chisel out damaged wall sections. Replace affected boards with moisture-resistant drywall. Standard gypsum absorbs water and swells. Use green board or cement board for high humidity areas. Re-skim with quick-set compound. Wait 7 days before painting to ensure full drying.
