When mould becomes a weapon
S. Christy has been a landlord for over two decades. She'd never had a mould problem in this London flat - until her tenants moved in and started building a case to be declared homeless.
Survey, fog and moisture control in a single visit
Indoor spore count 4.4× lower than outdoor reference, same day
"If it wasn't for Pure Maintenance, I think I would have had probably the first ever nervous breakdown in my entire life."
When mould becomes a weapon.
S. Christy has been a landlord for over two decades. She'd never had a mould problem in this London flat - until her tenants moved in and started building a case to be declared homeless.
There's a specific kind of fear in watching tenants engineer the disrepair they need to qualify for social housing.
Her tenants had a game plan: get the property declared unfit, qualify for social housing. They blocked her assessors, let the mould grow, then reported her to the council.
She'd spent £10,500 on cleanup that didn't last. Rentokil quoted £13,500 for three photos and a ventilation kit her freehold wouldn't allow. With a child in the flat, court was looming.
"It nearly killed me. There is nothing in this country to protect a landlord from a tenant basically complaining about mould riddling a property."
Dry fog in a single day. Wi-Fi hygrometers installed. Every stage documented: air test, survey, before-and-after photos, 12-month limited re-treatment warranty (subject to T&Cs).
No trickle vents, no PIV, no MVHR and the kitchen extractor vents into a shared building duct, so moisture has nowhere to go.
Electric heaters are only all mounted on internal walls, leaving the cold external surfaces where condensation actually forms unwarmed.
Thermal imaging showed no cold spots. Condensation was occupant-driven — furniture against external walls and curtains drawn tight, trapping dead air.
After one day of treatment, S. Christy's indoor mould-spore count measured 4.4× lower than the outdoor reference sample taken the same day — a 99.99% reduction, independently verified by Eurofins EMLab P&K.
"At least I've got it documented. I knew that I would get done what I need to get done, have everything documented properly."
The process behind the transformation.
Four stages. One day on site. Independent lab evidence at both ends — before you spend, and after we leave.
Comprehensive survey and independent laboratory testing to identify the root cause — not just the visible symptoms.
Patented two-step dry-fog process, applied throughout the property to reach every surface the air touches and reduce mould contamination, then an antimicrobial film to inhibit regrowth.
Post-treatment lab testing gives written, independent evidence of the spore-count reduction. No claims without numbers.
A follow-up in the weeks after treatment confirms the result has held — clear air, no regrowth, and the evidence to prove it.
What a homeowner actually wants to know.
Pure Home Treatment includes an air test, full survey, before-and-after photos, and a 12-month limited retreatment warranty (T&Cs apply). That documentation answered S. Christy's council pre-notice.
Once ventilated, the sterilant breaks down to acetic acid, water and oxygen — no lasting residue. The dry fog leaves no moisture. Occupants out for the day, back that evening. S. Christy asked this exact question before booking.
Dry-fog doesn't require any external alteration. S. Christy's freehold wouldn't allow PIV installation — our process worked within those constraints and Eurofins still verified a 99.99% spore reduction.
Wi-Fi hygrometers can be installed alongside treatment. S. Christy's logs showed humidity hitting near 80% when tenants weren't ventilating, then dropping under 60% once they did. The data is on record.
If you think you have a problem with mould, start with a survey.
Diagnostic mould survey. Independent US performance testing. 12-month limited retreatment warranty (T&Cs apply).
A diagnostic visit to identify exactly what's happening — before you spend anything on treatment.
Subject to availability, urgent appointments may be within 24 hours. One-day turnaround on most homes.
