Damp and mould remediation in Highland

Damp and mould cases in Highland need a contractor who fixes the cause, not just the stain. We treat mould and the ventilation, leaks or cold spots behind it.

Social landlords in Highland can appoint us for damp and mould remediation, from a single home to a programme. The Highland Council still owns council homes here, alongside housing association stock. We work to the Scottish Housing Quality Standard and to your own specification.
