Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check tiles, grout lines, vanity kickboards, shower junctions, laundry tap points and kitchen splashback areas for elevated moisture. These are the most common moisture feeders for mould growth, even when surfaces look clean.
We inspect sills, reveals, aluminium frames, and nearby plaster for condensation tracking and early mould spotting. In NewQuay apartments, repeated condensation can seed mould behind blinds, pelmets and built-in joinery.
We check enclosed storage areas, external wall corners and behind furniture positions where airflow is low. These locations often develop mould first because moisture can’t dissipate, particularly in tightly sealed units.
We assess accessible return air grilles, filters, condensate drain signs and exhaust fan performance indicators. Poor airflow and blocked filters can circulate spores and keep indoor humidity higher than it should be.
We look for staining, bubbling paint, and damp odours around skirting lines, ceiling edges, pipe penetrations and access panels. These spots can indicate moisture transfer from neighbouring areas or building services.
Your report notes where mould is confirmed or suspected, what’s driving it (leaks, condensation, ventilation, lifestyle moisture loads), and which fixes to prioritise first. We include photos so owners, property managers or remediation teams can act without guesswork.

NewQuay homes are commonly modern, sealed apartments where moisture from showers, cooking and clothes drying builds up faster than it can escape. If exhaust fans are underperforming or ducts are restricted, humidity lingers and condenses on cooler surfaces like window frames and external wall corners. That repeated dampness feeds mould in hidden spots such as wardrobes, behind blinds, and along skirting lines.
Yes. We inspect your unit for moisture patterns and mould indicators and look for clues that suggest moisture transfer through shared walls, ceilings, service risers or penetrations. While we can’t open common property without approval, our findings can help you raise a clear maintenance request with building management, including the likely pathways and the areas that should be investigated next.
Visible mould is what you can see on surfaces like silicone, paint or plaster. A mould presence problem includes hidden growth and conditions that support it—high moisture in walls, recurring condensation, or damp cavities behind cabinetry. Our inspection focuses on both: we identify visible growth and the moisture drivers that keep it returning, so your remediation plan targets the cause, not just the surface.
They can. Cooler night air and temperature swings near the water increase the chance of condensation on glazing and metal frames, especially if indoor heating is used and ventilation is limited. If condensation repeatedly wets sills and nearby plaster, mould can establish around window reveals and behind furnishings. We check these areas closely and outline practical controls like ventilation habits and humidity management.
You’ll receive a detailed report that documents where mould is present or suspected, the moisture and ventilation factors contributing to it, and prioritised recommendations. The report is written so you can act immediately—whether that means improving exhaust performance, addressing potential leaks, sealing service penetrations, or engaging a mould remediation provider. Photos and clear location notes help coordinate repairs efficiently.
