“ Damp ceilings and walls are home to a mould that poses serious health risks .... Toxic Mould is estimated to affect well over 3 million homes in the UK “
Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors 2002

Toxic Mould Risk
All moulds have the potential to cause health problems and allergenic reactions can include eye, nose and throat irritation, coughs and breathing difficulties.

However two species – Stachybotrys chartarum and Aspergillus fumigatum – are more dangerous because they produce mycotoxins which can lead to similar but more exaggerated health effects as well as nausea, headaches, rashes and lung infections.

Mould Identification Service
In association with laboratory specialists Fugenex CSS offer a rapid DNA based identification service for surveyors, FM and property management companies, landlords and the private homeowner. This is quicker than conventional methods allowing a result within 4 hours and is particularly valuable in connection with valuations or pre-acquisition surveys.
