Tayross Associates Chartered Building Surveyors | Party Wall Rates London | Party Wall Surveyor West London | Building/Structural RICS Survey London

Mould is more than just an unsightly issue in homes and workplaces — it is a clear indicator of excess moisture and poor indoor air quality, and it can have serious implications for both the building fabric and occupant health. At Tayross Associates Ltd, as Chartered Building Surveyors, we are now able to provide dedicated mould surveys as part of our inspection services.

Why Mould Matters

• Health risks: Mould spores can aggravate asthma, cause respiratory problems, and contribute to poor overall wellbeing.
• Property damage: Persistent damp and mould can decay finishes, damage plaster, and in time affect timber and structural elements.
• Regulatory obligations: For landlords and property managers, dealing with mould is not optional — legislation and housing standards place responsibility on you to ensure safe, habitable conditions.

Our New Mould Survey Service

To expand our capability, we have recently invested in a second Temtop Air Quality Monitor, capable of detecting CO₂, PM2.5, PM10 and airborne particles, giving us a clear scientific measure of indoor air quality.

This means that when we are called to investigate dampness or mould concerns, we can now:

• Identify the presence of mould spores and particulate levels.
• Establish potential sources of moisture, whether from condensation, leaks, or inadequate ventilation.
• Provide practical, building-specific advice on how the issue can be rectified — from improvements to heating and ventilation, to remedial works on fabric and finishes.

Why Use a Chartered Building Surveyor?

Unlike general contractors or cleaning companies, as Chartered Building Surveyors we do not just treat the symptoms — we diagnose the root cause. Our training allows us to consider:

• Building pathology (how the building fabric is behaving).
• Environmental factors (ventilation, occupancy patterns, thermal bridges).
• Long-term prevention, not just short-term fixes.

What We Offer

• Comprehensive mould testing and reporting
• Clear recommendations for rectification
• Guidance tailored to landlords, homeowners, housing associations, and property managers
• Professional, impartial advice backed by RICS standards

Conclusion

Mould problems left unresolved can cause escalating repair costs, legal liabilities, and serious health concerns. Our enhanced survey service allows us to detect, analyse, and advise on mould issues quickly and accurately.
