Mould and damp is a common problem experienced by many homeowners, landlords and housing associations, however finding the cause and fully investigating the mould issue before removal is crucial. If your property has poor ventilation, high humidity levels, excess moisture and water ingression, occupational activities such as drying clothes, cooking and bathing, these are signs of a persisting problem.

Mould Remediation – FAQs
The majority of mould and damp problems can be left undiagnosed for an extended period of time which will ultimately lead to an unsafe living environment. The following FAQs are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to understanding mould and damp in properties, however it will give you a basic outline on how to approach condensation-related problems.
What causes mould to grow in properties?
Some mould damage will occur from building faults such as rising damp, wood rot, plumbing leaks and water ingress. Other outbreaks can be caused by human activity around the home such as bathing, cooking, washing and drying clothes. Even small amounts of moist air can build up without proper ventilation that can allow condensation and damp to occur.
Mould will feed on cold surfaces such as wallpaper, adhesives, paints, fabrics and other materials in order to grow and reproduce and, some can take between 4-12 hours to germinate and 1-12 days for it to colonise the area, depending on the types of mould spores and the prevailing conditions.
How can mould be prevented in the future?
Poor maintenance of a domestic property or commercial premise is often the underlying issue, but ensuring you have effective ventilation in your home will stop or slow down a lot of the issues caused by daily life. Speak to our experts today to fully understand the current ventilation capabilities in your home. If the mould issue becomes severe and you are concerned, our property care specialists help you.
What are the health risks associated with mould?
Black moulds and other types of fungi that are left untreated can produce irritants; allergens; or toxins which can be hazardous to your health. Irritants are what they sound like – substances which irritate your eyes, skin, nose, or other parts of the body. Exposure to mould can also make some people, particularly people with a weakened immune system or pre-existing respiratory conditions, susceptible to developing symptoms over long-term exposure.
What to do if you have damp or black mould in your property?
Cornerstone has been dealing with mould and damp for many years and will be able to advise on the appropriate measures to get your property back to its former condition. We have a wealth of experience from a variety of different property issues so can create unique solutions to treat mould and ensuring minimal disruption.
How quickly can the mould removal & damp‑investigation process be completed?
The time required depends on the severity of the mould, the extent of damp, the source of moisture, and the materials affected. After an initial inspection, we can give you a realistic estimate.
Disruption is minimised by careful scheduling, isolating the affected area, using protective covers, removing only what’s necessary, and restoring once the area is safe and dry. We also provide technical reports, keep you updated throughout, and aim for a solution that balances effectiveness with minimal disturbance.
