Mould Removal written for Poole building stock
Old Town and Hamworthy include pre-Victorian and Georgian stock with cellars and solid walls. Parkstone and Branksome are principally 1900–1939 brick with suspended floors. Canford Heath and Creekmoor bring 1970s–80s cavity construction where condensation and cavity fill problems dominate.
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
- 01
High water table near the harbour
Cellars and low ground floors in Old Town and Hamworthy see seasonal ground water rather than simple rising damp.
- 02
Salt exposure on harbour elevations
Airborne salt keeps masonry hygroscopically damp and makes plaster fail repeatedly without a retardant system.
- 03
Cavity fill on exposed walls
Retrofitted cavity insulation on Branksome and Canford Heath elevations has bridged in a number of properties we have surveyed.
- 04
Extension junction leaks
Rear extensions added to older houses commonly leak at the abutment where a cavity tray was never fitted.

Mould Removal in Poole — 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.
