Black mould on walls, ceilings and around windows is one of the most common household problems — and one of the most misunderstood. Wiping it off achieves nothing, because the mould is a symptom of moisture, not the cause. We connect homeowners across Truro, Falmouth, Redruth and mid Cornwall with an insured local specialist who removes mould safely and fixes what is causing it.
Enquiries go to a selected local specialist who surveys the property and gives you a clear quote. We are not a national firm — you deal with someone local who finds the real cause.
Why mould keeps coming back
Mould grows wherever there is enough moisture, and in most homes that moisture comes from condensation — everyday activities like cooking, showering and drying clothes putting water into the air, which then settles on cold walls and windows where ventilation is poor. Removing the mould without addressing that moisture just means it returns. The lasting fix is to deal with the cause.
What we help with
- Mould removal and treatment — safe removal, cleaning and protecting the surface
- Condensation and ventilation — fixing the everyday-moisture cause of black mould
- Damp and mould survey — an honest diagnosis of the real cause, with a written report
Local knowledge
Cornwall's mild, damp, maritime climate makes condensation and mould especially common, and the county has a large stock of older solid-wall property around Truro that is prone to both damp and poor ventilation. Identifying whether the cause is condensation, penetrating damp or something else is the key to fixing it for good.

Frequently asked questions
How much does mould removal cost in Truro?
Removing and treating mould in a room often starts from a few hundred pounds, but the real cost depends on the cause. Improving ventilation to stop condensation is usually modest; fixing an underlying damp problem costs more. A survey gives a firm figure.
Why does mould keep coming back?
Because cleaning mould off does nothing about the moisture causing it. Black mould is almost always a symptom of condensation, poor ventilation or damp — fix that, and the mould stays away. Just wiping it off means it returns.
Is black mould dangerous?
Persistent black mould can affect indoor air quality and is best not left, particularly for anyone with asthma or allergies. Removing it and fixing the cause protects both the home and your health.
Is it condensation or damp?
Most household black mould is condensation — moisture from everyday living on cold surfaces with poor ventilation. Sometimes it is penetrating or rising damp. A survey identifies which, so the right fix is applied.
