Causes of moulds
Mould in the attic often develops due to a roof leak or poor ventilation. Both issues create moisture, which is the primary breeding ground for mould.
Roof leaks
Damaged roofing materials, displaced roof tiles, or a chimney leak are common causes of moisture in the attic.
Poor maintenance or wear and tear can allow water to seep in, creating the perfect conditions for mould growth.
Poor Ventilation
A lack of ventilation leads to the build-up of condensation moisture. This settles on walls, ceilings, and other surfaces, allowing mould to thrive.
Improving ventilation is essential to prevent mould formation in the attic.
The consequences
Mould in the attic can cause damage to your property and lead to health issues. Tackling mould quickly prevents further problems.
Damage to your property
If mould spreads, it can damage attic insulation and wooden roof structures. This can result in wood rot and weakened constructions, requiring costly repairs.
Additionally, mould produces a musty smell and creates an unhygienic appearance, reducing the comfort of your home.
Possible health issues
Mould spores can cause symptoms such as respiratory issues, fatigue, and headaches. Prolonged exposure can worsen these symptoms.
People with sensitive health conditions are at greater risk. If you experience symptoms, we recommend consulting a GP.
THE solutions!
You can fight mould yourself or have it treated by a professional. It is important to choose the right approach depending on the extent and severity of the mould.
Removing it yourself
Many people try to remove mould using household remedies or cleaning products. While this may help with early-stage mould, it is rarely a permanent solution. Mould spores often remain and grow back over time.
Painting over or wallpapering the affected areas only provides a visual fix while the mould continues to exist.
Professional Mould Treatment
For a thorough and lasting solution, professional help is the best option. Our experts completely remove mould and address the root cause, such as ventilation problems or moisture build-up from leaks.
We protect the wooden roof structures and prevent further damage.
