Mould Removal & Sanitisation
Mould isn’t “just a bit of damp.” Even small patches release invisible spores into the air that can aggravate asthma, coughing and infections especially in children, older adults and anyone with breathing issues. If you can see mould, spores are already circulating in the room.
Why Is Mould in (Almost) Every Home?
Mould needs two things: moisture and a surface. Everyday life creates both showers, cooking, drying clothes indoors, tightly sealed windows, cold external walls and blocked vents. That’s why even clean homes get mould: warm, wet air hits a cold surface and condenses; spores settle and grow. Without proper ventilation and treatment, it spreads fast.
- Bathrooms & kitchens – steam and poor extraction
- Bedrooms & lounges – drying clothes indoors or closed windows
- Cold corners & window frames – condensation “cold spots”
- Leaks or water ingress roofing, guttering and plumbing issues
Awaab’s Law – Why It’s Urgent
Awaab’s Law sets strict deadlines for social landlords in England to deal with damp and mould swiftly. It requires rapid action on emergencies (within 24 hours) and investigation or repairs within set timeframes. Failure to act can lead to enforcement and legal consequences. The message is clear: mould is a health hazard and must not be ignored.
Why Immediate Action Matters
- Health risk: Spores inflame airways, trigger asthma attacks and can cause serious illness in vulnerable people.
- Rapid spread: “Small patches” often seed multiple rooms via airborne spores.
- Property damage: Mould feeds on plaster, wallpaper and timber, repairs escalate if delayed.
Early intervention is vital. A professional clean and sanitisation can stop mould spreading. Leave it untreated and spores can penetrate walls and plaster, turning a simple job into costly building works.
