Welcome To - Building Forensic

Professional Mould Inspection in Greater London

Building Forensics provides specialist mould inspection services throughout Greater London, helping homeowners, tenants, landlords and property professionals understand what is happening inside their buildings.

Evidence Before Treatment

We do not begin with a predetermined treatment or attempt to sell the same solution for every property. We investigate the building, consider the available evidence and recommend a proportionate course of action.

Extensive Specialist Experience

Building Forensics is led by environmental hygienist Jeff Charlton, whose professional background spans environmental health, contamination investigation, disaster recovery and building-related illness.

Clear and Independent Guidance

Our role is to explain what has been found, why it may be happening and what should be done next. We provide clear recommendations that can be understood by homeowners and tenants while also supporting discussions with landlords, contractors, insurers, solicitors and healthcare professionals.

About Us

Building Forensic

Mould is not always limited to the visible marks found on walls or ceilings. Moisture can enter hidden cavities, damaged materials and poorly ventilated areas, allowing contamination to develop out of sight. Simply cleaning the surface may improve its appearance, but it will not resolve the problem if the underlying cause remains.

We take an evidence-led approach. Our investigations assess the condition of the property, potential moisture sources, contamination pathways and the ways in which occupants may be exposed. You receive clear findings and practical recommendations based on the evidence collected.

Our Services

01

Mould Inspection

Our service is suitable for homeowners, tenants, landlords, property managers and professionals who need reliable information about mould and damp conditions.

02

Mould Removal

Our recommendations prioritise source control, appropriate cleaning, safe removal, containment and exposure reduction. Any treatment product should form part of an appropriate remediation plan rather than being treated as a complete solution.

03

Mould Decontamination

Removing visible mould does not necessarily remove every source of contamination from a property. Microscopic particles can remain suspended in the air or settle within dust, furnishings, flooring, ventilation systems and other indoor reservoirs.

frequently asked questions

What happens during a mould inspection?

A mould inspection usually includes a discussion about the history of the property followed by an assessment of visible mould, moisture conditions, ventilation, building defects and possible concealed risk areas.The exact scope will depend on the property and the nature of the concern. Environmental sampling or laboratory testing may be recommended where it is likely to provide useful evidence.

Can mould be present even when I cannot see it?

Yes. Mould can develop behind wall coverings, beneath floors, inside cupboards, within ceiling voids and around previously water-damaged materials.Possible warning signs include musty odours, recurring staining, damp materials or mould that returns after cleaning.

Does a mould inspection include testing?

Testing is not automatically required in every case. A detailed building inspection may identify the likely cause without extensive sampling.When testing is appropriate, we will explain what information it is intended to provide and how the results will contribute to the investigation.

Why does mould keep returning after I clean it?

Recurring mould usually indicates that moisture conditions have not been resolved. This may be caused by condensation, inadequate ventilation, water ingress, leaks, cold surfaces or damp building materials.Cleaning the visible marks without addressing the moisture source is unlikely to provide a lasting solution.
