Golf Links Estate homes often have tightly sealed windows, tiled wet areas and shaded corners that can hold moisture—ideal conditions for mould to take hold behind paint, cabinetry and carpets.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We scan and test bathrooms, ensuites, toilets and laundries for elevated moisture in walls, ceilings and around shower recesses, vanities and waterproofing junctions. This matters because mould often starts behind tiles or cabinetry long before you see spotting on the surface.
We assess signs of persistent condensation on window reveals, sills, cornices and cold external corners, then check likely ventilation pathways (exhaust fan discharge points, door undercuts and cross-ventilation). Poor airflow is a common driver of recurring mould even when there are no plumbing leaks.
We examine skirtings, carpet perimeters and the base of plaster walls for swelling, staining, saltiness and musty odours. These clues can indicate dampness tracking from subfloor moisture, minor flooding events, or water ingress at external wall junctions.
We focus on areas around sinks, dishwashers and fridge alcoves, where slow leaks and trapped humidity can feed mould behind kickboards and within cupboards. Early detection helps prevent damage to cabinetry, flooring and adjoining wall linings.
We look for moisture halos, peeling paint, cracked cornices and staining consistent with roof leaks or overflow issues. In Golf Links Estate, intermittent leaks can present only after heavier rain, so we document indicators that suggest further roof or gutter investigation.
Your report separates suspected mould presence from moisture drivers and identifies the most likely source: plumbing, waterproofing failure, rising damp, drainage issues or everyday condensation. This helps you brief a plumber, roofer or mould remediator with precise locations and priorities.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
In Golf Links Estate, mould risk often comes from a mix of cooler seasonal humidity, shaded areas that don’t dry quickly, and modern interiors that can be well sealed. We frequently see issues linked to bathrooms and ensuites with inadequate exhaust, laundries with limited airflow, and condensation on colder external corners. The inspection focuses on these patterns and checks for moisture that can sit behind paint, tiles and cabinetry.
Yes. Visible spotting is only one clue. We look for musty odours, peeling paint, bubbling, swollen skirtings and moisture patterns that suggest hidden growth. We also use moisture testing to identify damp wall linings, window surrounds and wet-area junctions where mould can develop out of sight. If the conditions for mould are present, we document the likely location and the probable moisture source.
Condensation mould is usually driven by humid indoor air meeting cold surfaces, so it often shows up on window frames, corners, ceilings and behind furniture where airflow is poor. Leak-related mould tends to form around a specific source such as shower waterproofing, plumbing joints, roof leaks or overflowing gutters, and it can cause localised swelling or staining. We differentiate the likely cause based on patterns, moisture readings and building elements affected.
They can. Newer builds often have better seals and insulation, which can reduce drafts but also trap moisture if ventilation isn’t balanced. Mould can form in ensuites, internal laundries, walk-in robes on external walls, and behind stacked cabinetry where air circulation is limited. We focus on these concealed zones and check whether fans are effectively removing moisture rather than just recirculating it.
Our role is inspection and reporting. If mould presence is identified or strongly suspected, we explain the likely moisture source, the areas affected and the urgency. We’ll outline practical next steps, which may include engaging a qualified mould remediation provider and, importantly, fixing the underlying cause (such as ventilation upgrades, plumbing repairs or waterproofing works). This approach helps prevent the mould from returning after cleaning.
