Getting Rid Of Mould In Homes ‘Not Easy’

8/2/2018

2 Comments

 
​If you are unlucky enough to have mould in your property it can feel as though you’re fighting a never-ending battle to get rid of it.
 
But one expert in mould removal and damp proofing recently explained that there is no easy or quick way to fix the issue - and that it often requires expensive work to be carried out to the building.
 
Speaking to the Plymouth Herald, Guy Alexander Bell explained that doing things like opening windows and cleaning the affected area with mould-removing products isn’t enough.
 
In extreme cases where the mould has been left to get out of control, you need to start with the exterior of the building, before tackling what’s going on inside.
 
This may mean re-rendering the outside of the building, before applying a weatherproof paint. It’s only once this is fixed that it’s worth working on the internal issues, otherwise the damp will just keep recurring, Mr Bell said.
 
There are often stories in the media about people living in rented accommodation that’s in a terrible state - such as being affected badly by damp.
 
In response to this, the government is looking at ways to increase tenant rights to ensure landlords are held accountable for properties in a poor state of repair and therefore take appropriate measures to fix issues like damp and mould.
