BLACK MOULD ON WALLS OR CEILINGS
Dark or black-looking mould is a warning to act, but colour alone cannot identify the species or diagnose a health risk.
GET FREE PHOTO ADVICEMany moulds can appear dark. OREA does not identify a species from a photograph and does not make medical claims. We assess the visible property problem, surface condition and likely moisture route; laboratory testing or a specialist survey is separately arranged only where genuinely needed.
Recurring growth commonly points to continuing moisture from condensation, poor extraction, a leak, cold bridging, water entry or another defect. A surface product or coat of paint will not correct that cause.
We can quote professional surface treatment, suitable making-good, stain blocking and repainting. Bathroom grout, silicone, painted plaster, wallpaper, timber and porous materials require different decisions, so send clear photos before booking.
Damp and mould can affect health, particularly the airways and lungs. OREA does not diagnose symptoms. Speak with your GP or NHS 111 if you are concerned and use 999 for an emergency.
Ask OREA for confirmed service information or send photos for a free first check.
