A typical visual/physical mould inspection usually takes 1-2 hours, depending on the size of your property and the extent of the investigation required. For comprehensive mould testing with laboratory analysis, the on-site inspection takes a similar amount of time, but the complete process, including laboratory analysis and report preparation, typically takes 3-5 business days. We'll provide you with a detailed timeline upon booking your inspection.

Mould inspection is a visual check of your property to spot any visible mould, moisture issues, or conditions that could cause mould, often using tools like moisture meters and thermal cameras. Mould testing goes further by taking air and surface samples for lab analysis to identify the exact mould types, spore levels, and severity. In short, inspection shows where mould is, while testing shows what it is and how severe the problem is.

Not always. If mould is visible and the moisture source is clear, a visual inspection and professional mould removal may be enough. However, full mould testing with lab analysis is recommended if you have health symptoms but can’t see mould, suspect hidden mould, need documentation for insurance or legal reasons, want to confirm remediation worked, or need to identify specific mould types for health concerns.

While DIY mould test kits are available, professional mould inspection and testing provide significantly more accurate and comprehensive results. Professional mould inspectors have specialised training, advanced equipment like thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to detect hidden problems, proper sampling techniques to ensure accurate results, access to accredited laboratories for detailed analysis, and the expertise to interpret results and provide actionable recommendations. A professional inspection also provides documentation that may be required for insurance claims or property transactions.

Following your mould inspection, you'll receive a comprehensive report detailing all findings, including photographs of affected areas, identification of moisture sources and mould locations, moisture readings and thermal imaging results, and for comprehensive testing, laboratory analysis of mould species and contamination levels. The report will also include clear recommendations for remediation and prevention, and a detailed Remediation Action Plan and/or quotation for treatment and clean-up if required. Our team will walk you through the findings and answer any questions you have about the next steps to restore your property.
