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