Mould Testing & Air Sampling For Your Home
You can't always see mould, but you can breathe it in. Our air sampling and testing service tells you what's really in the air in your home.
Because what you can't see can still affect your family.
Mould spores travel through the air long before any mould becomes visible on a wall or ceiling. If you're worried about air quality in your home, especially in a child's bedroom or a room where someone has allergies, testing gives you a clear answer.
Call 0208 066 0360 to book a test.
Why test the air in your home
Homes with hidden damp, poor ventilation, or mould behind furniture or flooring can have high spore counts in the air, even if nothing is visible. Testing measures this directly, rather than relying on guesswork.

FAQs
The basics
Can mould be present even if I can't see it?
Yes, mould spores can spread through the air well before any visible growth appears.
What's the difference between mould testing and a mould survey?
A survey looks at the whole property and identifies the cause of a problem; testing focuses specifically on measuring mould spores in the air or on surfaces.
Technologies used
What is a protein swab test?
It's a quick test that measures how active mould growth is on a surface, helping us judge how serious the problem is.
How does air sampling work?
We use specialist equipment to draw a measured volume of air through a collection device, which is then sent to a lab to count and identify mould spores.
Estimates and charges
Is testing included in your standard remediation service?
Yes, protein swabs are part of our 9-stage process. Air sampling can be added if you need documented proof.
How much does mould testing cost?
This depends on the number of samples and areas tested. Call us for a fixed quote.
Booking the clean
How soon can you carry out testing?
In most cases, within a few days of your enquiry.
Can I book testing on its own, without remediation?
Yes, testing is available as a standalone service.
On the day
How long does testing take?
Air sampling and swabbing usually takes under an hour, though lab results take longer to come back.
Customer care
Can you retest after treatment to confirm the mould is gone?
Yes, we recommend a follow-up test to confirm spore counts have returned to a safe level.
How long until I get my results?
Lab results are typically available within a few working days, and we'll talk you through what they mean.

When to consider testing
Testing is particularly useful if:
- A family member has ongoing allergy or breathing symptoms
- You can smell damp but can't find where it's coming from
- You've had mould treated and want to confirm it's really gone
- You're moving into a new home and want peace of mind
