Mould usually shows up as dark spots on a bedroom ceiling, grey patches around a window frame or speckled growth along bathroom sealant. Wiping it away can work for a while, but if the moisture behind it is still there, the marks tend to return. Our work covers the affected surfaces and the conditions that caused them. You'll know what has been treated and what needs to happen next.
Our Mould Removal Services in Newcastle
Which service you need depends on where the mould is, what it's growing on and why the area is damp. Each of the main services below has its own page with more detail, and you can compare them side by side on our mould removal services page.
Black Mould Removal
Dark growth on walls, ceilings, window reveals and behind furniture can spread quickly once conditions suit it. Our black mould removal service treats the affected surfaces and takes out any material that can't be cleaned reliably. It also pins down the damp conditions that let the growth start.
Bathroom and Kitchen Mould
Steam from showers, baths and cooking settles on ceilings, tile grout and sealant, especially where extraction is weak. Mould Removal Newcastle deals with bathroom mould and kitchen mould, including sealant that is stained right through and needs cutting out and replacing.
Mould Surveys and Inspections
When mould is spreading, appears in several rooms or keeps returning, an inspection helps establish how far it has gone and where the moisture is coming from before any treatment is priced. Find out more about our mould surveys and inspections.
Condensation Control
Condensation is behind a great deal of the mould found in homes. Our condensation control service assesses ventilation, extraction, heating patterns and cold surfaces, then recommends practical improvements that suit the property.
Who We Help Across Newcastle
Homeowners usually contact us after cleaning the same patch several times without success. Tenants who are worried about mould in their home are also welcome to get in touch for advice on what they are seeing. Damp and mould are a particular concern for people with asthma, allergies or other respiratory conditions, so households in that position should take extra care and seek medical advice if they are worried.
For landlords and letting agents, our landlord mould removal service covers rented homes where tenants have reported damp or mould. Reports should be dealt with promptly, and the cause needs investigating before anyone puts it down to how the tenants live. Offices, shops, workplaces and other premises are covered by commercial mould removal, with the work planned around staff, customers and access.
Why Does Mould Keep Coming Back?
Mould needs moisture to grow. Bleach and household sprays can lift staining from hard surfaces, but they do nothing about the moisture and rarely reach growth inside porous materials such as plasterboard, wallpaper or old sealant. Painting over mould is not a dependable fix either, because the growth often shows through again once the new paint becomes damp.
The cause might be condensation, poor extraction or ventilation, cold external walls, furniture pushed tight against an outside wall, a plumbing leak, a roof or gutter defect, or rainwater getting through the walls. Many homes in Newcastle, including older terraced and period houses in areas such as Gosforth, have solid walls and cold corners. Some newer homes are more airtight and hold moisture indoors. In both cases the source has to be found before the risk of the mould returning comes down.
Why Choose Mould Removal Newcastle?
Mould Removal Newcastle takes a cause-first approach to every job. Before any treatment is agreed, we look at the affected area, ask about the history of the problem and work out where the moisture is coming from. Afterwards we'll tell you what we found and what we'd recommend doing about it.
You'll also hear about the limits of the job. Where a leak, roof defect or plumbing fault is causing the damp, we will explain what needs repairing so you can arrange it, because treatment won't last until the repair is done. If photographs aren't enough to price the work reliably, we'll say so and suggest an inspection first.
Care during the work matters too. On larger areas, suitable precautions are taken to reduce exposure and to stop spores spreading into the rest of the property.
How the Mould Removal Process Works
Most jobs follow the same pattern. You send details and photographs, we discuss what you have found, and an inspection is arranged where one is needed. We then explain the suitable treatment, prepare a quote, carry out the work and finish with recommendations to help keep the area dry.
Hard, non-porous surfaces such as tiles, glass and painted woodwork can often be cleaned and treated. Badly affected porous materials, including plasterboard, some plaster, wallpaper and sealant, may need removing and replacing. Every stage is set out on our mould removal process page.
What Affects the Cost of Mould Removal?
Every quote is based on the job in front of us. The size of the affected area, the materials involved, access, whether an inspection is needed first and whether anything has to be dried, removed or replaced all affect the price. Clear photographs and a short description often allow us to give an initial view without a visit. Our guide to mould removal costs explains the pricing factors in more detail, and quotes are always free.
