Damp and mould remediation in Edinburgh
If damp and mould reports in Edinburgh keep coming back, the cause probably has not been fixed. We find it, fix it and check the result.
Social landlords in Edinburgh can appoint us for damp and mould remediation, from a single home to a programme. City of Edinburgh Council still owns council homes here, alongside housing association stock. We work to the Scottish Housing Quality Standard and to your own specification.

- Humidity and temperature sensors for follow-up monitoring
How do we deliver it?
Where a cause sits outside the home, such as a gutter, a roof or a communal leak, we price that work too, because the mould inside will come back if it is left.

Our guide range for a typical damp and mould case (one or two rooms, mould treatment and an extract fan) in Edinburgh is £450–£1,100 per home. That is the UK range of £450–£1,150 (derived from published totals) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 0.97 (our own estimate); figures are before VAT where the source states it. Every job is priced after survey; specification, access and the condition of the homes will move the figure.
