Damp & Mould Surveys & Remediation

Abbott Contractors provides professional damp and mould surveys, diagnosis and remediation for homeowners, landlords, housing associations, managing agents and commercial properties. We identify the underlying cause of moisture and mould, provide clear recommendations and carry out appropriate remedial work, with services available across the South East and nationwide.

Our approach goes beyond treating visible mould. We investigate why damp or mould has developed, identify contributing moisture or building issues and recommend an appropriate long-term solution.

Why Choose Us?

What Is Damp and Mould Remediation?

Damp and mould remediation is the process of identifying the cause of excess moisture, treating affected areas and carrying out appropriate work to reduce the risk of the problem returning.

Unlike simple mould cleaning, professional remediation looks at both the visible mould and the conditions that allowed it to develop. Depending on the cause, this may involve repairs, improved ventilation, damp-proofing measures, mould treatment or restoration of affected walls and finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Damp and Mould

What is the difference between mould removal and mould remediation?

Mould removal focuses on treating visible mould. Mould remediation takes a broader approach by identifying the underlying moisture problem, treating affected areas and recommending appropriate measures to reduce the risk of the mould returning.

How do you diagnose the cause of damp and mould?

A professional damp and mould investigation considers moisture levels, ventilation, leaks, water ingress, condensation and the condition of the building fabric. The aim is to identify why moisture is accumulating before recommending remedial work.

Why does mould keep coming back after cleaning?

Mould can return when the moisture source has not been resolved. Condensation, poor ventilation, plumbing leaks, water ingress or building defects may continue to create conditions in which mould can grow.
