Mould remediation & mould mites beneath a bathroom floor in Gillingham

Creating access before treating the mould

The agreed bathroom remediation was completed during one attendance. The affected lino was removed for disposal and the newly exposed surfaces were taken through the specified treatment sequence following repair of the original leak.

This project shows why mould beneath a floor covering cannot always be approached as a simple surface-cleaning problem. The visible signs may represent only the accessible edge of the affected area. Removing the covering allowed the remediation to be directed at the surfaces beneath it rather than treating only what could initially be seen.

Repairing the source of moisture was an essential first step, but it did not remove mould that had developed while the leak was active. In this bathroom, the contamination was concealed beneath the lino and around the bath rather than limited to an exposed wall or ceiling.

Removing the affected floor covering therefore formed part of the remediation itself. It created direct access to the underlying surfaces and allowed the treatment to be applied where the mould had developed, rather than only to the visible edges of the affected area.

The four-stage mould-remediation used

Once the affected area had been exposed, the bathroom was taken through the specified four-stage treatment sequence:
