Mould in the home

Mould on ceilingUnfortunately, mould is becoming more and more of an issue in our homes today. Many homeowners have noticed a big increase in mould appearing on walls and ceilings within their homes. Of course, this is an ugly, unsightly mess but it also carries health implications for us all, especially those with any respiratory problems...


So, what's causing this? Why is it happening now, but not before? Well, there are many reasons for mould. Mould can grow almost anywhere that there is warmth and moisture. Increased insulation levels and better airtightness can directly and very quickly result in black mould. Any home that has had insulation levels increased in walls or roofs, has had windows changed, vents altered or in which, living patterns have changed, may have increased.

Black mould close-upThere are several mould "removers" and "killers" on the market but none of these actually address the issue at source and the mould will therefore re-occur as bad as ever after treatment.

The good news is that there are solutions. Solutions will depend on your circumstances, your home and what has caused the issues in the first place. We specialise in these solutions and would be happy to discuss with you how to solve these problems. Insulation, ventilation, damp-proofing may all have their part to play in removing this horrible mould from your home on a permanent basis.
