What a damp and mould specialist does
Damp and mould specialists diagnose the cause of damp, whether condensation, penetrating damp from outside, rising damp or a leak, then treat it and remove the mould. The diagnosis is the whole job, so in Northfield be wary of anyone who quotes for a damp proof course before finding the cause, and ask for a written report you can keep.

Frequently asked questions
Is it condensation or damp?
Condensation shows as black mould in corners, behind furniture and on cold walls, worst in winter, and comes from moisture inside the house. Penetrating damp follows rain and shows as patches that grow after wet weather. Rising damp is rare and shows as a tide mark low on ground floor walls.
Do I need a damp survey?
For anything beyond obvious condensation, yes, and it should be independent of the treatment. Some businesses survey free and then sell the treatment, which is a conflict. A written report with moisture readings and photos is what you want.
How do I stop mould coming back?
Mould grows where there is moisture and little air. Fix the source, improve ventilation with extractor fans that actually run, keep some heat in cold rooms, and clean the mould off properly rather than painting over it.

What should I check before I hire a damp and mould specialist?
