A Zefon Pump which we use to take air samples for testing in an independent laboratory. The results tell us the exact species of mould present. 

Mould does not mean the wall is damp. This picture shows the ceiling is dry - but mould still growing here. 

90% relative humidity - ouch! Far too high and we need to install more ventilation in this property. 

Our mould surveys checks the outside too! In this case, some poor flashing seems to be causing a problem inside. 

Blocked gutters really do cause damp problems - get them cleared please!!

We always check the speed of installed fans in litres/second to ensure they meet building regs guidance. Most of the time they fall well short. 

An ATP protein swab test shows there is active biological material (mould) here. 

After fogging with our natural mould killing solution the wall has no living biological material left. 

Fogging a natural mould killer and sanitiser into the cavity behind this wood panelled wall. 

We see some really heavy mould problems.

These damp meters are useful tools but it is important to understand that the reading is not accurate on masonry.

Protimeter 2 pronged damp meter - use with caution!

We use borescope cameras to look in cavity wall to check the condition of wall ties. Also useful to check if insulation is present.

Damp and Mould Surveys

Ministry Of Mould Ltd

He was extremely helpful and professional cannot fault five stars!!!  His honesty shone through as he felt I should consult a damp specialist firm first and pointed me in that direction.  Would definitely recommend his services.  Ray

Tom came to look at our mould problem

We contacted Tom and he was really pleasant and helpful. He was able to come around at very short notice to help treat two large patches of mould that had recurred in the house.
Overall he did a great job at treating these, and he was thorough in his assessment as to the cause, doing a full thermal study to reveal issues with insulation in the house. His prevention recommendations were really straight forward and helpful.

Household mould removal and prevention

We had work completed by Ministry of Mould in December 2023.  We decided to go with Ministry of Mould because we were looking for a comprehensive mould removal and prevention package.  The work was carried out to a great standard, and has made a big difference to our home.  Tom was friendly and professional, and very knowledgable on the issues our home was experiencing.

Comprehensive Mould Remediation

Tom initially visited and conducted a mould survey.  He talked through the issue and quickly provided a full report.  When undertaking the work he was prompt and professional.

Mould in 2 rooms

Tom was very pleasant and informative.  Has provided the help and information I needed without any heavy sales pitch.

Survey

We booked a damp survey to work out what was causing a problem on the front wall of the house.  Various builders had guessed at the cause but none seemed to actually know the reason.  Tom was very methodical and worked out the cause which took him a few hours of testing.  This was a great service and we now feel we can get the damp solved properly.
