Find out what's actually there, before anyone sells you a cure.
Independent mold testing for London homes. We sample, an accredited lab identifies it, and you get a plain-language report. Whether you need removal, and how much, is your call, made on evidence instead of a sales pitch.
Most homes we test come back normal. That's a good day, and you spent a few hundred dollars to know it.
The company that inspects your home for free and then quotes you thousands to fix it has one incentive, and it isn't you. We sell testing only. The result is the result.
Every question the mold market normally answers with a sales quote.
Six guides covering inspection, black mold, cost and the decision itself. No gates, no scare tactics.
Mold inspection
A full walk-through, moisture readings, and a sampling plan, so nothing is missed and nothing is invented.
→Black mold testing
The question most people call about. We identify what the dark growth actually is, because the eye cannot.
→What it costs
$300 to $600 for a residential inspection with lab-analyzed sampling, published up front. Almost nobody in this market does.
→Air & surface testing
Air sampling, tape and swab surface sampling, bulk sampling, analyzed at an accredited lab with chain of custody.
→Is black mold dangerous?
The honest health framing: what only a lab can tell you, and why symptoms are a question for your doctor.
→Do I need a test?
A two-minute triage. Tell us the situation and get a straight answer on whether testing makes sense.
→The real situations, in the words people use.
Dark growth is common and is not automatically toxic. We identify what it is; your doctor is the right person for symptoms. Testing replaces the fear with a fact.
London's older basements and spring flooding make this the most common call. Drying stops new growth; it doesn't tell you what already grew. A clearance test does.
In a student-rental city, mold is where landlords and tenants stall. An independent third-party test is the document that ends the standoff.
Then don't get one. Get a test from someone with nothing to sell but the test.
That's the whole price of knowing, published up front, which almost nobody in this market does. Remediation, if the lab says you need it, is a separate cost handled by a removal contractor, and we give you honest ranges for that too so you're never blindsided.
Four calm steps, under an hour on site.

How much does a mold inspection cost in London?
Generally $300 to $600 for a residential inspection with lab-analyzed sampling, depending on home size and the number of samples. The exact price is confirmed before we book.
Do you remove mold?
No, and that is deliberate. We test and inspect only, so our report has no sales agenda. You take it to any remediation contractor you choose.
Is black mold dangerous?
Some molds produce compounds that affect some people, but "black mold" is a look, not a diagnosis, and only lab analysis identifies what is actually present. Health symptoms are a question for your doctor; what the material is, is a question for the lab.
Can I just use a hardware-store test kit?
A kit can sometimes tell you mold is present, which you often already know. It cannot reliably identify the species, measure the airborne concentration, or serve as independent documentation.
How long does it take to get results?
The visit is under an hour; lab analysis is typically a few business days, with rush options when a closing date or a stalled dispute cannot wait.
