Mould Removal in Northampton
Mould is a symptom of moisture, not a problem in its own right. Sprays and paints can remove what you see, but unless the conditions that allowed mould to grow are dealt with, it returns — usually within weeks. Procure Group Ltd starts with the moisture, not the mould.
Why mould grows
Mould spores are present in every home. They germinate where surfaces stay damp long enough — and surfaces stay damp for identifiable reasons. The conditions we most often find behind persistent mould include:
- High relative humidity from everyday moisture production
- Surface condensation on cold walls, windows and ceilings
- Cold surfaces and thermal bridging at corners, lintels and reveals
- Insufficient or unused ventilation
- Water ingress through the building fabric
- Plumbing defects, including slow leaks
- Persistent moisture from any source left unaddressed
Why spraying mould is not the complete solution
Fungicidal sprays and mould-resistant paints have their place, but used alone they treat the visible growth while leaving the moisture condition untouched. If mould keeps returning to the same spots after cleaning, that is the clearest sign that the underlying condition has not been addressed.
How effective treatment actually works
Our approach to mould follows four steps:
- 1. Identify the moisture source — condensation, ingress, plumbing or a combination
- 2. Control the underlying conditions — ventilation, heating, insulation or repair as appropriate
- 3. Carry out appropriate remediation of the affected areas
- 4. Provide preventative recommendations so the problem does not return
Mould and health
Persistent mould is not just a cosmetic issue, particularly for children, older people and anyone with respiratory conditions. If mould is spreading, affecting bedrooms, or coinciding with musty smells elsewhere in the property, it is worth having the moisture conditions properly assessed rather than repeatedly cleaning it back.
