Mould Assessment Checklist
Helpful guidance to support mould inspections, reporting and remediation enquiries
Before providing a quotation, mould inspection report or remediation recommendation, BioSweep® UK may request additional information regarding the affected environment.
Providing clear photographs and background information can help us:
-
Better understand the issue
-
Identify possible contributing factors
-
Recommend appropriate next steps
-
Improve quotation accuracy
-
Determine whether sampling or inspection may be beneficial
Helpful Photo Examples
To assist with initial assessment, please provide a combination of:
-
Wider room photographs
-
Close-up affected areas
-
Windows, ventilation and surrounding surfaces
-
Any visible staining, condensation or water damage
Natural lighting is often most helpful where possible.
✔ Helpful Images
Why this helps:
✔ Shows room layout
✔ Shows severity and spread
✔ Helps assess ventilation and external wall positions
✘ Less Helpful Images
1.Too Close / No Context
Problem:
✘ No indication of room size or spread
✘ Difficult to understand overall conditions
2. Dark / Blurry Images
Problem:
✘ Limits visibility of affected materials
✘ Prevents accurate assessment of extent and source
3. Obstructed Images
Problem:
✘ Difficult to identify mould patterns
✘ Important detail cannot be assessed clearly
PROFESSIONAL NOTE
Where possible, please provide both close-up photographs and wider room images taken in natural lighting conditions.
Include an item for scale
Example:
-
ruler
-
hand
-
door frame
-
furniture edge
This helps gauge:
-
contamination spread
-
severity
-
surface area quickly.
