About our Mould and Damp Survey Service
We offer a mould survey service that provides laboratory confirmation with regard to the presence of mould growth within properties. Both surface and air sampling testing are available.
Surface sampling is used to determine the presence of mould along with the verification of mould growth. The results in the survey report provide microbiological evidence, produced against industry standards together with images of sample locations and growth results.
Air sampling testing is used in determining the likelihood of mould spore inhalation. An air sample is taken by collecting and enumerating the airborne viable particles using a bio sampler. A bio sampler device, when deployed in the property, forces a volume of air onto a growth plate, which is then incubated, cultured and assessed for mould growth. The results obtained from this air test method, provide microbiological evidence of mould spores presence in the air evidence.
TestLabs mould survey reports provide definitive evidence of mould growth which a standard visual inspection cannot offer. Standard visual inspections rely solely on photographic evidence and, in some cases, temperature, humidity and dampness measurements. All these parameters are known to be proxy measures which do not provide any biological and statistical evidence.

Your help was amazing it has placated the tenant and they are now occupying their space as normal. Really appreciate you turning that around so quickly for me!
Savills | Sean WatsonConstruction Case Study
A mould issue had been identified on site by construction workers and was escalated to the companies Health & Safety Dept., resulting in the suspension of a 200+ apartment project until the levels of mould could be assessed, treated, and an updated risk assessment could be prepared.

Housing Case Study
A potential mould issue was identified by a tenant in rented accommodation, concerned for the health of a child with an existing respiratory condition. This was raised with the landlord, who approached Test Labs to confirm the level of mould in the residence.

Really grateful for the help, advice and on-site survey work provided by Test Labs UK. We had a live situation where Mould and Air Quality were a concern. Test Labs came in, helped advise where and how to test, undertook the on-site work, provided a comprehensive report and followed up with post report feedback.

Early engagement with Test Labs showed that identification was the first step of the process. They established a 7-day cycle of sampling and regular review to identify which of the tested areas were classified as ‘Hot Spots’. Once fully understood this allowed the Construction Phasing to produce methods on how and when the process of treatment and removal should be done. Test Labs Ltd were very much part of the control process and from our experience we would be more than happy to support any further Technical / Construction issues in the future.
