At a glance / For housing and property professionals
Passing on mould cases anywhere in Northern Ireland
Black spotting on a bedroom ceiling, streaming windows, a musty smell that never clears: give the person in front of you a booked visit at a set price instead of a guess.
Condensation problems tend to surface through someone other than the specialist. A tenant sends a letting agent photos of mould behind a wardrobe. A Level 2 surveyor notes damp staining but cannot say where it comes from. A housing officer hears the same complaint from one flat every November. A plasterer is asked to make good a wall that blackens again within weeks. Each of these is a good moment to refer. When a client needs a condensation survey, they book it through Condensation Surveys NI at a price fixed before the appointment, so cost is settled up front. A local specialist then visits, records humidity, surface temperatures and moisture readings, looks at ventilation, heating patterns and cold spots such as lintels and window reveals, and works out whether the cause is condensation or water getting in from outside. That distinction matters, because extractor fans will not cure a leaking gutter and a damp proof course will not cure a drying rack in a sealed room. Condensation surveys and mould surveys both run through the same booking, which suits agents and landlords handling a mix of rentals, terraces and newer flats across the six counties.
Reasons professionals send clients here
- A set price agreed at booking, with nothing left open for later.
- Condensation is separated from rising or penetrating damp before any remedy is suggested.
- Written findings a landlord, tenant, buyer or lender can hold on file.
- Practical causes such as airflow, heating and cold bridging are named, not just the mould itself.
- Your client arranges access and timings with the specialist, leaving you free of the back and forth.
