Croydon North’s cooler, leafier pockets and many 70s–90s homes can trap moisture in bathrooms, wardrobes and subfloors—making early mould detection important before it spreads behind linings.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check bathrooms, ensuites, laundries and kitchens for mould growth patterns, silicone and grout breakdown, shower recess corners, vanity kickboards and skirting junctions—common points where water escapes and feeds recurring mould.
We assess suspect areas around plumbing, shower walls, baths and tiled floors to identify moisture migration that can support mould behind paint, plaster and cabinetry, even when the surface looks fine.
For homes with raised floors, we look for damp soil, poor air flow, blocked vents, pooling water and fungal growth on bearers/joists. Underfloor moisture is a frequent driver of musty odours that rise into living areas and wardrobes.
Where safe access is available, we inspect roof spaces for water staining, damp insulation, bathroom exhaust discharge issues, and mould on framing. These issues often present as ceiling spotting or persistent mould near cornices.
We review mechanical exhaust performance, window operation, and airflow restrictions in bathrooms, toilets, laundries and walk-in robes. Poor ventilation allows humidity to stay high, encouraging repeated surface mould after cleaning.
Your report outlines where mould is present, the most likely moisture sources, and prioritised recommendations—such as repair targets, ventilation upgrades, and when to engage mould remediation or a plumber—so you can act with confidence.

Many mould problems here are driven by humidity and slow drying rather than a single burst pipe. Cooler seasons, shaded walls, and everyday moisture from showers, cooking and clothes drying can build up if exhaust fans are weak or vents are blocked. Condensation on older windows and cold external wall corners can keep surfaces damp enough for mould to grow, especially in bedrooms and wardrobes.
We prioritise wet areas (bathrooms, ensuites, laundries and kitchens), then track likely spread zones such as adjacent bedrooms, wardrobes, window reveals, internal corners and ceilings. Where accessible, we also check subfloors and roof spaces for dampness, condensation, or roof leaks. The goal is to identify both visible mould and the conditions that support it, then document clear next steps.
We assess growth patterns, location, surface condition and moisture indicators to determine whether marks are likely active mould, surface mildew, or historic staining from previous leaks or condensation. Some staining can look similar, so our approach combines visual assessment with moisture investigation and context (ventilation, plumbing proximity, roof details). If lab confirmation is required, we’ll advise on appropriate testing pathways.
They can be, particularly where underfloor ventilation is limited, vents are covered by landscaping, or drainage allows water to sit near foundations. Damp subfloor air can move into the home and show up as musty odours, mould in wardrobes, or cupping in timber floors. We inspect accessible subfloor areas for dampness and airflow issues, then recommend practical fixes like improving ventilation and addressing water management.
Your report will outline the affected areas, likely moisture sources, and what should be prioritised. In some cases, targeted cleaning and improved ventilation is enough; in others, you’ll need repairs such as shower re-sealing, plumbing fixes, roof leak repairs, or exhaust upgrades. If mould is extensive or likely within wall cavities, we’ll recommend engaging a qualified mould remediation provider and coordinating repairs to prevent recurrence.
