Mould investigations (indoor environment)

Mould is an outcome. We investigate the source, pathway and conditions that support growth, then quantify where testing materially improves confidence or informs decisions.


Mould and damp surveys

When mould investigation is appropriate

Mould investigation is most useful when the cause is unclear, responsibility is disputed, or decisions depend on understanding whether visible growth reflects a broader indoor environment issue.

  • Identifying moisture source and pathway
  • Assessing ventilation effectiveness in context
  • Differentiating surface growth from hidden contamination
  • Understanding conditions supporting repeated growth
  • Informing proportionate next technical steps

Testing in context

Testing is used where results materially change the decision—verification, prioritisation, exposure context, or confirmation of hidden risk. Where the mechanism is clearly building-related, investigation of moisture and ventilation performance often provides higher value than sampling alone.

What you receive

Clear findings presented in context, distinguishing observation from interpretation and setting out limitations.

Mycometer Air Testing
  • Source and pathway narrative
  • Contextual interpretation of results (where testing is used)
  • Annotated photographs and diagnostic imagery
  • Evidence gaps and uncertainty notes
  • Proportionate next technical steps

What this service is not

  • Not remediation or cleaning advice
  • Not a standalone “pass/fail” test
  • Not confirmation of responsibility without investigation
  • Not a substitute for building performance assessment

Discuss the context before you instruct

If mould is recurring, disputed, or linked to wider building performance concerns, a short call is usually enough to confirm whether investigation or testing is proportionate.

Request a technical call-back

Briefly describe the issue and the warranty/dispute context. If you have documents or photographs, note what you have. We will confirm whether a desktop evidence review is proportionate or whether a site investigation is required.
