Why Bournemouth properties need this

Mould Removal written for Bournemouth building stock

Most of the BH1–BH9 housing we survey is 1890–1935 brick with suspended timber ground floors, slate or plain tile roofs, and rear extensions added at various dates. Cliff-side and chine properties additionally deal with severe exposure and, in a handful of locations, movement-related cracking that lets water in.

Mould needs three things: spores, a food source and moisture. The first two are in every building. Remove the moisture and mould cannot grow, which is why cleaning it off without addressing the cause simply resets the clock by a few weeks.

Local faults that lead to this work

  1. 01

    Raised paths and drives bridging the DPC

    Rear yards and side paths built up over the years now sit above internal floor level, taking moisture straight past the damp-proof course.

  2. 02

    Converted flats with sealed ventilation

    East Cliff and Boscombe conversions frequently lost their original airflow, and bedrooms now grow black mould on external corners.

  3. 03

    Chine and cliff exposure

    Properties above the chines take driven salt-laden rain that finds any weakness in pointing or render.

  4. 04

    Blocked airbricks under bay windows

    Bay window sub-floors are the first place we find wet rot when the void has stopped ventilating.

Questions

Mould Removal in Bournemouth — answered

Bleach removes the colour and leaves the hyphae and the moisture behind, so the growth returns. It also adds water to the surface. A biocidal treatment applied after the source is fixed is the only durable route.

We arrange air and surface sampling where a health or legal question needs answering. For the majority of domestic cases the species does not change the remediation.

Where a vulnerable occupant is affected we prioritise the survey — usually within a few working days across our coverage area.
