  • How is mould removed?

    Mould removal services use specialist equipment like HEPA vacuums, antimicrobial sprays, and air scrubbers. The process also includes identifying and fixing the underlying moisture issue.

  • How can I stop mould coming back?

    • Improve ventilation (e.g. extractor fans or trickle vents)
    • Fix leaks and damp patches
    • Use a dehumidifier in problem areas
    • Clean with anti-mould products

  • Does insurance cover mould removal?

  • Can mould come back after removal?

    Yes, it can, especially if the root cause (like excess moisture or poor ventilation) isn’t fixed. That’s why it’s important to treat both the mould and the conditions that caused it.

    A mould control removal company will usually advise on long-term prevention too.

  • What’s the difference between mould and mildew?

    Mildew is a surface-level fungus, often white or grey, and easier to clean.

    Mould tends to be darker (black, green, or brown), can grow deeper into surfaces, and often has stronger health risks. If in doubt, get a mould inspection to identify the type.
