“Do-It-With-You” Survey via iPhone or Tablet
Our new remote survey service connects you with a certified Environmental Hygienist via your iPhone or iPad. Together, we’ll walk through your property to help identify and assess high-risk areas for mould, moisture, and airborne spores.
We’ll guide you step by step using loaned equipment, allowing you to measure key indicators like surface moulds, indoor humidity, and air quality.
Once target areas are identified, we’ll recommend which ones to sample. You’ll use the provided tools and supplies to collect the samples, then return them to us along with the equipment.
We’ll handle the lab analysis and provide you with a detailed report of our findings—including any recommendations for remediation if needed.
Professional Investigation and Mould Sampling
Mould is present in most indoor environments—but not all mould is harmful. Some types are relatively benign, while others—such as Stachybotrys (commonly known as black mould)—can pose serious health risks.
At Building Forensics, we specialise in expert mould testing, inspection, and indoor air quality assessments across the UK. But testing is only part of the picture. Identifying the source, cause, and best method of remediation is just as critical.
We provide you with assessments of :
- What type of mould is present
- Whether it is toxic, allergenic, or benign
- How much is present—in the air, on surfaces, or hidden in cavities
- Whether it may be affecting your health
- What sampling strategy best matches your health symptoms and environment
