KC Home Solutions ltd

Crawley Down, Crawley, london · RH10 4AL

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

Frequently Asked Questions About Damp in Essex

How do I find a qualified mould specialist in Essex?

Search the MouldPros directory for Essex — all listed specialists are manually verified before their listing goes live. Filter by service type to find the right contractor for your specific damp or mould problem.

Does Awaab's Law apply to private landlords in Essex?

Not yet — Awaab's Law has applied to social housing in England since October 2025, and its extension to private landlords is a later phase of the Renters' Rights Act 2025 rollout, with no confirmed start date. Once in force, private landlords in Essex will need to investigate significant damp and mould hazards within 10 working days and complete safety works within 5 working days of the investigation concluding (24 hours for emergencies).

What are the most common damp problems in Essex rental properties?

Essex has a mix of older and newer housing stock.

How quickly can a specialist respond in Essex?

Response times vary by contractor and availability. Many MouldPros-listed specialists in Essex can conduct an initial assessment within 3–7 days. For emergency mould hazards requiring response within Awaab's Law timeframes, look for contractors who offer urgent appointments.

Own Your Home in Essex? Mould Removal FAQs

Quick answer

If you own your home in Essex rather than rent, mould is a health and maintenance issue rather than a legal compliance one — but the causes and fixes are the same. MouldPros-listed specialists in Essex work with homeowners as well as landlords and letting agents.

Is mould in my home in Essex a health risk?

Household mould, including black mould, can affect respiratory health — particularly for children, older people, and anyone with asthma or a weakened immune system. Occasional light surface mould in a bathroom is common and usually low-risk once cleaned, but persistent or spreading mould, or mould affecting a bedroom or living area, is worth having assessed rather than just wiped away repeatedly.Source: UKHSA / GOV.UK ↗

Can I remove mould myself, or do I need a professional in Essex?

Small, isolated patches of surface mould on non-porous surfaces (tiles, glass, painted wood) can often be cleaned yourself with appropriate gloves, ventilation, and a mould-specific product. Mould covering a large area, mould that keeps returning after cleaning, or mould linked to a leak, damp patch, or condensation problem needs a professional inspection — treating the surface without fixing the underlying moisture source means it will come back.

What causes mould in a home I own, and is it something I've done wrong?

Mould needs moisture to grow, which in owned homes usually comes from condensation (cooking, showers, or drying laundry indoors without ventilation), a leak, rising damp in older properties, or penetrating damp through the building fabric. It's rarely about cleanliness — even well-kept homes get mould if ventilation or a building defect lets moisture build up. A specialist survey identifies the actual cause rather than guessing.

Will home insurance cover mould damage in Essex?

Usually only if the mould results from a sudden, insured event — such as a burst pipe or storm damage — reported promptly. Most standard home insurance policies exclude mould caused by gradual issues like long-term condensation, rising damp, or lack of maintenance, since insurers treat these as preventable. Check your policy wording and speak to your insurer before assuming cover applies.

How do I stop mould coming back after treatment in Essex?

Address the moisture source first — improve ventilation (extractor fans, trickle vents, opening windows after showers or cooking), fix any leaks or damp ingress, and avoid drying laundry on radiators in unventilated rooms. A specialist can advise on longer-term fixes such as positive input ventilation (PIV) systems or damp-proofing where the cause is structural rather than behavioural.
