In January 2025, a Mould and Damp Assessment was carried out at a residential property in London to check for moisture-related concerns and assess indoor air quality. The inspection covered key areas, including living spaces, bedrooms, bathrooms and a basement storage area, focusing on damp conditions and fungal contamination.
The assessment found moderate indoor air quality in habitable areas but identified significant mould contamination in specific locations. Fungal growth was observed on walls, window areas, and in the basement, particularly in corners where moisture buildup was evident. The cellar and entrance foyer had extremely high fungal spore levels, indicating persistent dampness and poor ventilation.
The primary cause of mould growth was condensation on cold surfaces, worsened by insufficient airflow and high humidity levels in some rooms. The report recommended improving ventilation, addressing moisture buildup and implementing routine cleaning to prevent further fungal spread. Fixing water leaks, clearing blocked air bricks and ensuring adequate heating were also suggested.
By taking these preventive measures and conducting ongoing monitoring, the property can improve air quality, reduce mould risks and create a healthier living environment for its occupants.
In December 2024, a Mould and Damp Assessment was carried out at an office space in London to evaluate indoor air quality and identify potential moisture-related concerns. The assessment focused on key areas, including the main office, archive rooms and toilet, to check for dampness and mould contamination.
The results showed that indoor air quality was generally good, with fungal spore levels lower than outdoor levels, indicating no significant contamination. However, marginally elevated levels of Aspergillus/Penicillium spores were detected in the Archive Room and Toilet, suggesting limited ventilation or minor indoor mould sources. Visible mould growth was also noted in the toilet area.
The report recommended improving ventilation, addressing moisture buildup, and maintaining regular cleaning schedules to prevent further mould growth. Additionally, repairing any damp-affected areas and keeping humidity levels in check were advised to maintain long-term indoor air quality.
By taking these simple preventive measures, the office can continue providing a healthy and comfortable working environment, ensuring staff remain safe from potential mould-related issues. Regular monitoring will help maintain these improvements over time.
A recent Mould and Damp Assessment was carried out at a property in Mayfair to investigate potential air quality concerns and moisture-related problems. The focus was on assessing the basement storage units where damp conditions can often lead to mould growth.
The assessment showed that no major visible mould contamination was found. However, the assessment did pick up some elevated moisture levels in the walls of certain storage areas, which could create the perfect environment for mould if left unchecked. Air sampling showed that fungal spore levels were slightly raised in one unit but remained within manageable limits overall.
To improve conditions, it’s recommended to introduce better ventilation and address the dampness by drying out the affected walls and applying waterproof treatments. Keeping humidity in check and ensuring proper airflow will go a long way in preventing future mould issues.
Overall, while there’s no immediate health risk, taking a few proactive steps will help maintain a fresher and healthier environment, ensuring the space remains dry and mould-free in the long run.
We took a close look at a property in London to check for any mould and damp issues. The place has a rich history and unique architectural features, which made the inspection both interesting and important. We aimed to find any areas where moisture might be causing problems like hidden damp spots or mould growth that could affect the health of the occupants.
During our assessment, we found that while the indoor air quality is generally good, there are some areas showing signs of moisture and potential mould growth. A few rooms had elevated damp readings, especially near bathrooms and kitchens where moisture is more common. We didn't find any serious mould infestations but there are spots that need attention to prevent future issues.
Our recommendations include improving ventilation in certain areas, applying waterproof treatments where needed and keeping an eye on humidity levels. Simple fixes like sealing around windows and ensuring proper airflow can make a big difference. It's all about being proactive to keep the property safe and comfortable.
This project highlights how important it is to regularly check for mould and damp, especially in older buildings. By catching issues early we can help maintain a healthy environment and preserve the property's charm for years to come.
This assessment we carried out dives into the current conditions of a historic London property, focusing on mould and damp concerns. The property has a rich architectural background and is currently under partial renovation which adds a unique layer to the inspection. Our findings revealed that indoor air quality is generally good with fungal spores well within acceptable limits, posing minimal health risks.
Some rooms showed signs of historical moisture issues, like elevated damp readings in certain walls and floors, but no extensive or active mould growth was detected. A few areas, especially in higher-risk zones like bathrooms, displayed conditions requiring preventative measures such as improved waterproofing or ventilation system enhancements.
This project highlights the importance of regular maintenance in preserving indoor air quality and preventing moisture-related issues. Simple upgrades like applying waterproof solutions and sealing potential entry points for moisture are recommended to ensure a comfortable living environment.

Whether it's restoring heritage or modern dwellings, tackling dampness early always makes for a healthier home.
Our team carried out an assessment focusing on mould and damp issues at a dental practice in Wimbledon. The investigation aimed to evaluate the indoor air quality and identify any areas affected by mould or moisture. The inspection covered both the ground and upper floors of the property, checking for water damage and contamination.
The assessment found that, overall, the indoor air quality was good, with no significant signs of damp or mould-related odours. However, there were some areas where damp and mould were present. The decontamination room on the ground floor had the highest moisture levels, with mould staining found behind a bin and water damage caused by a leak from an autoclave. Other rooms, like the surgeries and reception, showed minimal moisture and no evidence of mould contamination.
The report recommended repairing the autoclave leak, addressing the guttering issues causing water buildup, and cleaning and repainting the affected walls for aesthetic purposes. While the overall health risk from the damp and mould was considered low, the suggested remedial actions would help maintain a healthier environment moving forward.
