Quoins Damp Surveyors

Covers Reading · based in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire56 miles away

Quoins Damp Surveyors provides independent damp and mould investigations for homeowners, buyers, landlords, letting agents and property professionals across Hertfordshire, Essex, London and surrounding areas. With extensive experience in building maintenance and remedial work, I investigate the causes of damp, mould and moisture damage and provide clear, practical advice on the next steps. Surveys include internal and external inspections, moisture readings, thermal imaging, humidity checks and an assessment of ventilation where appropriate. A written report explains the findings, likely causes and recommended remedial measures. I also offer drone roof inspections and aerial property photography to help identify visible defects in roof coverings, gutters, chimneys and other areas that are difficult to inspect from ground level, subject to suitable weather and safe flying conditions. Where required, remedial work can be quoted separately through Quoins Building Services. Damp surveys start from £300. Please contact Edmund Harrison to discuss your property and arrange an inspection.

Amodeus Ltd t/a Uk Mould Removal

Covers Reading · based in Croydon, Greater London38 miles away

My name is "Mouldy" Paul. I have retired once, but set up this business primarily for my son, Peter. Trained by The National Flood School to adhere to IICRC regulations (only internationally recognised course) on how to remove damp and mould, in accordance to Health and Safety and COSSH. Peter has attended training by myself and attended courses on damp removal. Accredited by Safecontractor and SMAS to PAS 91 level, but the accreditation we hold with Which? is one we are most proud of. Peter does the mould removal along side my niece. My wife assists with painting and my cousin also being involved in the business, makes it truly a family affair. We have contracts with countless letting agencies, housing associations and even a museum. We ask for images to assess the cost and provide our quotation. If we are rewarded with the job, we would also carry out a free damp survey on the day of the mould remediation. An easy to read detailed report would highlight why mould exists and offer recommendations on how to prevent mould returning, all free of charge.

KC Home Solutions ltd

Covers Reading · based in Crawley Down, Crawley, West Sussex46 miles away

Established in 2023, our family-run property maintenance business brings over 20 years of industry experience to every job. We provide comprehensive property maintenance across London, Surrey, Kent, and Sussex. Fully insured with SafeContractor accreditation, we specialise in expert damp and mould treatments. Our four-step mould treatment process is highly effective because it targets mould at the source. We use biocidal products, which are specially formulated to kill mould spores completely and prevent regrowth, far more effective than home remedies like apple cider vinegar or shop bought products containing bleach, which may clean the surface but cannot penetrate deeply or stop mould from returning. We do more than treat visible mould. Our team is trained to identify and address the underlying cause, helping to prevent the issue from returning. As part of this process, we assess the property both internally and externally to determine whether remedial work is required. This may include: Improving ventilation systems ​Addressing penetrating damp Resolving DPC issues

What damp proofing does — and doesn’t

Damp proofing is the remedial work once the cause is known: a damp-proof course injected or replaced, tanking or membranes for below-ground walls, or fixing the water source — a gutter, render or flashing — so it stops entering the wall. In Reading, as elsewhere, the most common “damp” is condensation, which no damp-proof course will fix.

So ask any specialist for the survey findings in writing before agreeing a treatment, and check whether they are CSRT-qualified or PCA members.
