Before and after
The problem
Mould returned each winter despite repeated cleaning and repainting. Existing finish layers were dense and reduced wall drying potential.
The approach
We confirmed condensation and trapped moisture factors, removed non-breathable layers, then rebuilt with vapour-open materials and ventilation guidance.
The result
Surface conditions stabilised and the homeowner reported improved comfort with no recurring visible mould through the next damp season.
"They diagnosed first instead of jumping to quick fixes, which made all the difference."
