Fast mould removal: crucial for health and environment

Mould and fungi can be harmful to health. Fast mould removal is therefore crucial for maintaining a healthy living and working environment. 

Mold is often caused by moisture problems in the home: leaks, water damage or poor ventilation. This problem often occurs in bathrooms, where moisture and a lack of adequate air circulation can lead to stubborn mould growth. For both the health of residents and the home itself, the timely removal of mould is crucial. Dolmans helps housing associations remove mould professionally. We offer customised solutions for our business customers and maintain good contact.

Our method of removing mould

You can remove small mould spots yourself in some cases. Yet regular cleaning products do not always work well enough to remove mould from your home in the long term. For large-scale mould growth, mould on awkward surfaces (such as walls or sealant edges), or mould with an unclear cause, it is wise to call in a specialist.

In mould removal, we use specialised cleaners that penetrate deep into the affected material. The aim is to eliminate the mould for good. Our methods are effective and aimed at long-term prevention so that the mould does not return.

We communicate clearly with housing associations and their tenants about the process of mould removal. For example, tenants receive – prior to our visit – an informative flyer that clearly explains our step-by-step plan for mould removal. In addition, the flyer contains practical preparation instructions so that tenants know exactly what is expected of them before Dolmans’ visits. To make sure everyone understands the information, we provide the flyer with drawings and translations in English and Arabic.

The importance of fungus and mold removal

  • Removing mould prevents respiratory problems and allergic reactions.
  • Fungi can attack wood and other materials, leading to structural damage to buildings.
  • Timely remediation prevents mould and fungus from spreading to other parts of the building.
  • The air quality in a building improves when mould is removed. This means a healthier indoor climate.
  • Sometimes, there are local, regional or national regulations regarding mould in a building, especially in healthcare and food preparation.

Frequently asked questions

Can you guarantee that the mould will not come back after removal?

We guarantee that the mould is gone after our remediation. After we remove the mould, we take measurements, ruling out the possibility that the mould is active. Whether mould stays away permanently depends on several factors. For example, how a house is ventilated and the structural condition of the house. If the cause of the mould is not removed, the mould can return.

How long does mould removal take on average?

Our mould remediation process consists of three steps: an inspection, remediation and finishing. The duration of the remediation process depends on the amount of mould in the room and our client's requirements. For example, if we also need to remove the cause of the mould problem or carry out a thorough building survey, the process takes longer.

Generally, we charge about an hour and a half for the inspection, a half-day for the remediation of the mould and a half-day for the finishing touches. Please note that all steps take place on different days. For example, the incorporation time of our fungicide is 24 hours before we can start finishing.

Are you certified or recognised by relevant bodies in the field of mould removal?

We are ISO 9001 certified. This demonstrates that we have implemented systems and processes to ensure quality and sustainability.

At what time can you start removing mould?

It depends on how big and complicated the mould problem is. Usually, we can start within 10 working days. First, we do a thorough inspection to see how severe the mould is and where it is located. Based on that, we make a plan. If it is an urgent situation, we can sometimes start faster to avoid further damage and health risks. Our team is flexible and ensures that we get to work quickly and efficiently to make your environment mould-free.

Can I remove mould myself?

Sometimes, you can remove mould yourself. If you are dealing with small areas of mould on non-porous surfaces, such as tiles, you may be able to do it yourself with cleaning vinegar or bleach and protective equipment. However, for large-scale mould growth, mould on porous materials such as plasterboard, or if the cause of the moisture problem is not clear, it is wise to call in our experts. In addition, regular cleaning products do not always work well, and you often remove mould temporarily. We wrote an article on how to remove mould yourself, which you can read below.
