The picture on arrival
The client reported mould along a corridor wall adjacent to a bathroom. We inspected the bathroom envelope, fixtures and any back-to-back cupboards.
Findings
- Freestanding bath: a crack at the rear where splashes migrate.
- Shower: grout degraded and letting water travel through; cupboard behind showed secondary mould.
- Thermal patterns matched repeated wetting and drying, which drives mould growth in predictable bands.
What we recommended
- Replace/repair the freestanding bath and re-grout the shower, including corners and upstands.
- Dry, clean, and treat affected surfaces with mould-inhibiting systems.
- Improve bathroom extraction; keep RH low during and after showers.
We pinpoint sources so repairs are targeted—not guesswork. Start with [Water Leak Detection].
