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.

What does damp and mould remediation cost in Shetland?
Our guide range for a typical damp and mould case (one or two rooms, mould treatment and an extract fan) in Shetland 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.
