He was very knowledgeable in the field, and walked us through the solutions we need to take. Our treatment was carried out by Craig, who took special care of all household items, whilst carrying out the treatment. Craig made sure to explain the best methods of cleaning the treatment. Would highly recommend! Thank youPosted on Google Leah Warner-TedaldiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Kai and Sam come to do isotherm insulation on our walls. They were great, really upbeat and friendly. They worked really hard and left the place so tidy. The work looks good so far! Review is done on the day of completion Update: we had a lot of trouble with this company in the end. The plastering work ended up needing to be redone. It took 6 weeks for it to be redone and we were left with a completely unusable room and really bad communication. There were so many times when I rang through to the switchboard and escalated matters for nothing to happen. We felt totally helpless and stranded. I have since tried to get through to their complaints team to no avail. We had the isotherm sheeting fixed which was then skimmed over the top. Once this had set you could quite easily push it in with your finger, denting it (see pic of finger dents). The company surveyor (who we asked to be sent round) said that this was expected and how the isotherm works (I would not recommend!) Luckily they sent a plasterer round to fix it, and he said the whole thing (isotherm and all) needed to be redone, and he redid it all. It now looks really good and doesn’t dent with your finger. TBH I wouldn’t recommend this company, I found them impossible to get in touch with and just gatekept at a switchboard and left us in a really vulnerable position and took 6 weeks to fix it.Posted on Google Monika NiebojTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Larry has arrived today with lots of helpful information, been very polite and understanding. Definitely recommended :)Posted on Google Amanda WilliamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

What Is Black Mould Eradication?
Black mould eradication is the process of removing mould growth from affected areas and addressing the moisture issues that allow it to develop. Simply cleaning visible mould often provides a temporary fix, as the underlying cause can lead to recurring growth if left untreated.
At Home Energy Save GB, we identify the source of excess moisture, whether it is caused by condensation, poor ventilation, leaks or damp problems, before recommending the most effective treatment. Our approach focuses on both removing existing mould and helping to prevent it from returning, creating a healthier and more comfortable living environment.
What Is the Black Mould Eradication Process?
1. Property Inspection
Every black mould treatment begins with a thorough inspection of the affected areas. Our specialists assess the extent of mould growth and identify signs of excess moisture, condensation, poor ventilation, leaks or damp problems. This allows us to recommend the most effective treatment for your property.
2. Root Cause Assessment
Removing mould without addressing the source often leads to recurring problems. We investigate the underlying cause of the mould, whether it is condensation, inadequate airflow, water ingress or another moisture-related issue, helping to create a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.
3. Professional Mould Treatment
Once the cause has been identified, we carry out the appropriate mould treatment to remove affected growth from walls, ceilings and other surfaces. Our process is designed to reduce contamination, improve the appearance of affected areas and prepare the property for ongoing protection.
4. Long-Term Prevention
Following treatment, we provide recommendations to help prevent black mould from returning. Depending on the property's needs, this may include improved ventilation, insulation upgrades, condensation control measures or damp-proofing solutions. Our goal is to help maintain a healthier, drier living environment for years to come.conversion projects.
Professional Black Mould Eradication for Healthier Homes
Black mould is often caused by excess moisture, condensation, poor ventilation or underlying damp issues. If left untreated, it can continue to spread across walls, ceilings and other surfaces, affecting the appearance and condition of your home.
Home Energy Save GB provides professional black mould eradication services designed to remove mould growth and address the conditions that allow it to develop. Whether you have noticed recurring mould patches, persistent condensation or signs of damp, our experienced team can assess your property and recommend the most effective treatment and prevention measures for long-term protection.
Signs You May Need Black Mould Eradication
Recurring Mould Growth
If black mould continues to return after cleaning, there is often an underlying moisture problem that has not been addressed. Recurring mould patches commonly appear on walls, ceilings, around windows and in corners where condensation forms regularly.
Without treating the source of the problem, mould can continue to spread and affect larger areas of the property over time.
Condensation & Excess Moisture
Persistent condensation on windows, walls or other cold surfaces can create the ideal conditions for black mould growth. This is particularly common in bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms and poorly ventilated areas of the home.
Excess moisture in the air can allow mould spores to settle and develop, leading to ongoing mould issues if left untreated.
Musty Odours & Damp Conditions
A persistent musty smell is often one of the earliest signs of hidden mould growth or excess moisture within a property. You may notice unpleasant odours before visible mould appears on walls or ceilings.
Professional black mould eradication helps identify the cause of damp conditions and provides treatment solutions that support a healthier indoor environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes black mould in homes?
Black mould develops when excess moisture is present within a property. Common causes include condensation, poor ventilation, leaking pipes, roof leaks and damp problems. Areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms and rooms with limited airflow are particularly vulnerable. Identifying and resolving the source of the moisture is essential for preventing mould from returning.
Can black mould come back after removal?
Yes, black mould can return if the underlying cause is not properly addressed. Simply cleaning or painting over mould may remove the visible signs temporarily, but excess moisture can allow mould growth to reappear. Professional black mould eradication focuses on both removing existing mould and tackling the conditions that caused it in the first place.
Is black mould always caused by damp?
Not necessarily. While damp problems can contribute to mould growth, black mould is often caused by condensation and poor ventilation. Everyday activities such as cooking, showering and drying clothes indoors can increase moisture levels within the home. A professional assessment can help determine the exact cause and the most suitable treatment.
Can I remove black mould myself?
Small patches of mould can sometimes be cleaned using appropriate products, but this often provides only a temporary solution. Larger areas of mould or recurring growth may indicate a more serious moisture issue that requires professional attention. Without addressing the root cause, mould is likely to return regardless of how often it is cleaned.
How long does black mould treatment take?
The time required depends on the size of the affected area and the severity of the mould problem. Some treatments can be completed relatively quickly, while more extensive cases may require additional work to address ventilation, condensation or damp issues. Following a survey, we can provide clear recommendations and expected timescales for treatment.
Do you offer free surveys for black mould problems?
Yes. Home Energy Save GB offers free property surveys to assess black mould issues and identify the source of excess moisture. Our specialists will inspect the affected areas, discuss any concerns you may have and recommend the most effective treatment solution. Following the survey, we can provide a tailored quotation with no obligation.
