Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect bathrooms, ensuites, laundries and kitchens for mould growth, water splash-back damage, failing silicone, swollen skirtings and damp plaster. These areas are common starting points for mould spores that spread through the home.
We check signs of condensation around windows, frames and external corners, and assess ventilation performance in high-humidity rooms. In Kilsyth South, winter condensation can create recurring mould even without a plumbing leak.
For homes with raised floors, we look for mouldy timbers, damp soil, musty odours and blocked vents. Poor cross-flow under the house can keep flooring and bearers damp and drive mould into adjacent rooms.
We look for mould on trusses, sarking, insulation and around penetrations, along with evidence of roof leaks or condensation. Roof space mould can be missed until it starts affecting ceilings and air quality.
We focus on common leak points such as shower bases, bath hobs, vanity plumbing, laundry taps, hot water overflow lines and external hose connections. Slow leaks often create hidden mould behind cabinetry and wall linings.
We record where mould is present, the surfaces impacted and the most probable moisture driver (leak, condensation, rising damp or poor ventilation). This helps you plan the right fix instead of repeatedly cleaning the symptoms.

We prioritise wet areas (bathrooms, laundries and kitchens), then move to common problem zones seen around Kilsyth South such as external wall corners, behind furniture in poorly ventilated rooms, roof spaces and subfloors where accessible. We’re looking for visible growth, staining, musty odours and moisture conditions that support mould—so the report explains both what we found and what’s driving it.
We assess the pattern of staining, surrounding material condition and current moisture indicators to determine whether it looks active or historical. A dried leak may leave tide marks and damaged plaster but show no current moisture signs, while active issues often present with continuing dampness, soft materials, fresh growth or recurring condensation. If it’s unclear, we’ll recommend the next step to confirm.
It can be, because roof space mould often indicates ongoing moisture from a roof leak or condensation. Even if it isn’t visible inside yet, it may affect insulation performance, timber condition and odour transfer, and it can worsen over winter. We check accessible roof spaces for mould indicators and likely moisture sources, then outline practical actions such as ventilation improvements or roof repair checks.
They can be. Older homes may have limited exhaust capacity and underfloor ventilation, while renovations can create sealed cavities behind new linings, splashbacks or joinery. In Kilsyth South, shaded blocks can also slow drying, which increases condensation and dampness risk. Our inspection targets these “hidden” zones—behind vanities, around window reveals, and underfloor/roof areas where access allows.
Yes. The report documents the locations inspected, evidence of mould presence, and the likely moisture cause. We then outline practical next steps such as fixing leaks, improving extraction ventilation, managing condensation, or engaging a specialist mould remediator for larger or persistent issues. The goal is to stop the moisture source first, then deal with affected materials correctly.
