Mould Testing

Clear answers when indoor air quality is in question

When mould is suspected, what you can see is only part of the picture. Airborne spores are often present before visible growth appears, which is why a professional mould test is used to assess what’s happening in the air, not just on surfaces.

North West Asbestos & Demolition Solutions provides mould spore air testing across a range of environments, from offices and commercial buildings to remote sites and residential properties. Acting as a practical, site-focused mould specialist, the approach is based on gathering clear, defensible data that supports informed decision-making.

Airborne mould spore testing, also known as bioaerosol monitoring, is used to assess indoor air quality and identify potential hidden contamination. It is particularly useful where there are signs of water damage, persistent odours, visible mould growth or health concerns linked to the environment. Rather than relying on assumption, testing provides measurable insight into spore levels and types present in the air.

Sampling is carried out using calibrated air pumps, with collected samples analysed by accredited laboratories. This allows for identification and quantification of mould spores, including species commonly associated with moisture damage or material decay. The results of each mould test are then interpreted in context, helping determine whether remediation is required or confirming whether previous remediation has been effective.

While mould testing is not governed by a single prescriptive standard, it supports broader workplace health and safety obligations to provide a safe environment. It also aligns with guidance from accepted indoor air quality practices.
