At Efficient Hygiene Services, we know that microscopic spores exist everywhere naturally. This makes it almost impossible to remove all traces of mould from your property! However, our team will remediate the mould in your building to a safe and normal level using scientifically proven techniques.
We know commercial properties are different everywhere, so no two services will be the same. We will take the time to assess your area and determine the best remediation method.

Mould spores are naturally occurring pieces of organic fungal life that can be found in low concentrations in almost any air sample. In normal concentrations, mould is unlikely to cause any problems. Unfortunately, in some circumstances, the number of mould spores can multiply dramatically, increasing the concentration of mould spores in the air to an unacceptable level. The leading cause of mould build-up is moisture – mould thrives in wet, damp or humid conditions.
There are all sorts of property faults or circumstances that can lead to the damp conditions mould needs to multiply swiftly and spread. These include:
A background level of mould spores in an air sample is normal and doesn’t require remedial work. Unacceptably high levels of mould spores can cause some, or all, of these problems:
A high concentration of mould spores in the air can cause respiratory (or worsen) respiratory problems in vulnerable individuals. Some people have an allergy to mould, causing them to suffer acutely when levels of mould spores are high.
In addition, some forms of mould are extremely toxic to humans. Prolonged exposure to a toxic mould (such as Stachybotrys Chartarum) can cause serious and long-lasting neurological and respiratory symptoms.
Mould growing on a wall or ceiling isn’t an inert entity. Mould spores gain nutrition from organic material. The spores land on organic material in the property and release enzymes to break it down. The broken-down material is then ingested. If you’ve got a mould infestation, the mould is literally eating your property! Organic materials such as cellulose (which is found in a wide range of surfacing and insulation materials) and timber are particularly vulnerable. Left unchecked, mould can cause serious structural damage.
The structural damage is compounded by the high level of moisture the mould needs to thrive – this means a property with a mould problem frequently has underlying structural damage due to the unwelcome presence of excess moisture.
Mould has a distinctive, damp, unpleasant odour. Even if unsightly patches of mould aren’t visible, the smell is enough to create an unpleasant atmosphere in a property.
Air in the workplace is required to meet specific levels of cleanliness. Business owners that fail to address a mould problem that is causing poor air quality are in breach of health and safety regulations. Homeowners will naturally want their home to be a fresh-smelling, healthy place to live, which is why tackling the air-quality problems caused by mould is a priority.
Mould patches on walls or ceilings are horrible to look at and can seriously reduce the value of your property.
There are a number of precautions property owners and building managers can take to reduce the risk of a mould problem developing. Some of these include:
Remember that mould will return if the underlying cause of excess moisture isn’t treated. As part of the service we provide, we will identify what’s causing the excess moisture that’s leading to your mould build-up.
Furthermore, we will recommend suitable remedial action to treat the cause of the dampness. Once the source of the unwanted moisture is found and resolved, you’re less likely to experience a future outbreak.
If you notice any of these signs, we recommend giving us a call for an expert opinion. We will attend promptly on-site and determine if you have a mould problem. If you have, the sooner it’s identified, the faster the mould can be eliminated. Look out for:
Mould removal is the process of cleaning (removing) mould from an affected area. In contrast, mould remediation is a two-part process that incorporates mould removal. In addition, remediation covers the identification and resolution of the cause of excess damp that has led to the mould outbreak.
