Yes. Treatment success varies by contamination type, materials, severity, and conditions. Independent lab reports reflect sampled areas only and provide scientific insight into current conditions.

Our services aim to neutralise contaminants at source and improve indoor conditions. In some cases, combined work (e.g., remediation plus verification sampling) may be recommended.

After independent verification, you will receive clear reporting detailing results and any recommendations for maintenance, monitoring, or further action.

Frequency depends on system usage, complexity, and duty holder requirements. Typical reassessments may be annual or based on changes to water system configuration.

Effective remediation combined with environmental sampling can provide baseline data — but periodic monitoring is recommended to ensure ongoing compliance and safety.

Decontamination (UK/US) - This term is consistent in both regions. It refers to the removal or neutralisation of hazardous substances (e.g., bacteria, viruses, chemicals, smoke compounds) from air, surfaces, and materials.

Odours are caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by mould, fungi, or bacteria. BioSweep’s treatments neutralise these odours and suppress the source microorganisms.

BioSweep’s process suppresses mould spores, rather than eliminating mould entirely, because mould is present everywhere. Odour removal neutralises unpleasant smells at the source, restoring indoor air quality.

Microbial contamination refers to the presence of microorganisms such as mould, bacteria, or fungi on surfaces, in the air, or in materials, which can affect indoor air quality and hygiene.

Cleaning and reducing microbial, chemical, or odour contaminants in an environment.

BioSweep® UK offers a comprehensive range of sampling techniques: Sterile Swab Testing: For mould, faecal matter, and combined bacterial sampling. ATP Swab Tests: Rapid assessment of microbial contamination and cleaning effectiveness. Air-O-Cell Air Sampling: Captures airborne spores and bioaerosols for laboratory analysis. Tedlar Bag Air Sampling: Collects volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odorous contaminants for lab testing.

All laboratory testing is conducted independently by UKAS-accredited labs. BioSweep® performs the sampling and compiles the results into detailed, professional reports.

UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) provides independent verification that laboratories meet strict quality and technical standards. BioSweep® relies on these accredited labs for accurate results.

Mould is a type of fungus that thrives in damp or humid conditions. Its airborne spores can cause unpleasant odours and pose health risks if not addressed promptly. BioSweep UK specialises in suppressing mould growth and restoring safe indoor environments.

Measures taken to suppress mould growth and restore safe indoor environments.

Post-treatment verification is a crucial step to ensure the success of odour removal, mould remediation, or decontamination. At BioSweep UK, we collect air and surface samples for analysis by independent UKAS-accredited laboratories. These verified results confirm the effectiveness of our treatments, providing you with confidence and peace of mind.

BioSweep provides professional mould removal services; however, mould spores are naturally present in all buildings. Our treatments suppress and remediate mould growth, significantly reducing microbial activity and odours. All results are verified through post-treatment sampling by an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory. Note: Complete elimination of spores is not possible. Ongoing moisture control and building maintenance are essential to prevent recurrence.

After treatment, the “Surface Defence®” protection can last for 9 to 12 months, continuously killing microbes, bacteria, and viruses on treated surfaces.

UKAS-accredited testing involves independent laboratory analysis of air, surface, or water samples. This ensures accurate and reliable verification of remediation outcomes, contamination levels, and system hygiene, giving you confidence in the results.

Yes. We offer treatment validation and results reporting that confirm the effectiveness of odour removal, mould remediation, and decontamination through independent UKAS-accredited analysis.

A Legionella risk assessment evaluates water systems to identify conditions that could support Legionella growth, following HSE guidance (ACOP L8 and HSG274), with practical, proportionate recommendations for duty holders.

Legionella sampling may be included but isn’t always mandatory with an assessment. BioSweep® UK can provide water sampling separately or as part of a broader evaluation.

Water sampling can detect microbial contamination, including Legionella, E. coli, Pseudomonas, and total viable counts. Analysis is carried out by UKAS-accredited laboratories to support compliance, risk management, and verification.

UKAS accreditation ensures laboratory methods meet rigorous standards for accuracy, traceability, and impartiality — giving credible evidence for remediation success, compliance, or safety decisions.

Remediation (UK/US) - Another term used globally, meaning the process of correcting or reversing damage, such as mould remediation, fire remediation, or water damage remediation.

Mould Removal: Targeted treatment of mould affected surfaces to suppress microbial growth. Mould Remediation: A comprehensive process including surface treatment, odour neutralisation, and post-treatment verification. BioSweep specialises in both, providing professional decontamination services and odour removal alongside mould control.

Mould spores are naturally present everywhere and cannot be entirely eliminated. However, BioSweep UK excels in suppressing mould growth and restoring safe indoor spaces. Our post-treatment sampling ensures reduced microbial activity and effective remediation.

We identify mould at source through structured inspection and, where required, professional air and surface sampling. Analysis by an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory confirms spore levels and contamination, allowing us to deliver targeted mould remediation and suppression that reduces airborne spores and supports healthier indoor air quality across residential, commercial, and managed environments.

Photographs of affected areas, wider room images, ventilation details, information regarding condensation or leaks, and the history of mould growth can all assist with initial environmental assessment and recommendations.

Helpful photographs include close-up images of mould growth together with wider room photographs showing windows, ventilation areas, ceilings and surrounding surfaces. Images taken in natural lighting conditions are often most useful.

In many cases, initial photographs and background information can help BioSweep® UK provide preliminary guidance regarding possible causes, inspection recommendations or remediation requirements prior to attendance.

A mould inspection report documents visible mould, moisture sources, and potential microbial risks. It provides a clear overview of your property and informs safe mould remediation strategies.

The report itself is not certified; however, any sampling undertaken is analysed by an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory, providing certified analytical data.

In many landlord, insurance, or commercial cases, an inspection report is recommended to define scope and support evidence-based remediation.

Where sampling is undertaken, results are analysed using UKAS-accredited laboratory testing methods, giving verified data to guide evidence-based mould remediation decisions.

Landlords, insurers, managing agents, and homeowners use inspection reports to plan remediation, support insurance claims, and maintain healthy, compliant properties.

Yes, it identifies mould and moisture risks early, helping property owners plan remediation to prevent additional contamination and structural issues.

BioSweep® UK provides professional, independent reports backed by UKAS-accredited laboratory testing, giving confidence in remediation planning and property safety.

Our odour removal services neutralise smells at a molecular level using advanced gas-phase oxidation technology. This includes smoke, fire odours, cooking smells, pet odours, VOCs, and other persistent odours. Treatments are safe, non-toxic, and eco-friendly, leaving no harmful residues.

Yes. Our odour removal and decontamination services effectively treat odours resulting from fire, smoke, or soot. Post-treatment verification ensures odour reduction and safety, making properties suitable for reoccupation.

While BioSweep treatments significantly reduce microbial load and odours, long-term prevention depends on controlling moisture and dampness in the property. BioSweep protects and suppresses contaminants but cannot prevent mould from returning if environmental conditions allow it.

BioSweep delivers professional odour removal, mould remediation, and decontamination services for properties affected by fire, smoke, and water damage. We provide detailed reporting and post-treatment validation for insurers, based on UKAS-verified laboratory results.

Awaab’s Law, introduced in October 2025, is UK legislation that requires landlords and housing providers to take swift action when damp and mould are reported in rental properties. The law is designed to ensure tenants live in safe and healthy homes by reducing exposure to mould-related health risks.

BioSweep UK provides professional mould inspection, odour removal, and decontamination services to help landlords, estate agents, and housing providers meet the intent of Awaab’s Law. While there are no regulatory “compliance standards” yet, our services include: Air and surface sampling with independent UKAS-accredited laboratories.

Yes. BioSweep® UK provides evidence-based reporting and documentation for insurers, loss adjusters, and restoration partners to support claims, compliance, and remediation planning.

Cleaning is the process of removing visible dirt, dust, and other soils from surfaces, typically using a cloth, wipe, detergent, soap, or solvent. While cleaning removes debris, it does not kill or fully eliminate bacteria or viruses. However, it is an essential first step before sanitising, disinfecting, or sterilising, as it improves the effectiveness of these processes.

You sanitise to reduce germs to safer levels. You disinfect to kill or inactivate specific bacteria and viruses on hard surfaces. The right method depends on the surface, the contamination, and the level of risk. We use the appropriate process for the job, so you get a targeted, evidence-led result.

These processes are complementary: Clean first to remove dirt and debris. Sanitise surfaces to lower bacteria to safe levels (optional in general spaces). Disinfect to kill bacteria and viruses, especially in high-risk or post-contamination environments.

Surface Defence® is our proprietary antimicrobial treatment that suppresses microbial activity on treated surfaces. Protection typically lasts 9–12 months, though heavy cleaning, repainting, or high-traffic areas may reduce effectiveness. Reapplication is recommended in such cases.

Removal refers to physically taking away mould, odours, or contaminants from a property, surface, or material. It is a direct action aimed at eliminating the immediate problem. Remediation is a broader process that includes removal but also addresses the underlying causes, prevents reoccurrence, and restores the environment to a safe, healthy condition. It often involves inspection, treatment, and post-treatment validation.

‘Mould’ is the standard UK spelling, while ‘mold’ is used in the US. Both refer to the same type of fungus.

‘Odour’ is the standard UK spelling, while ‘odor’ is used in the US. Both refer to a smell, whether pleasant or unpleasant
