Mould Surveys & Testing
in Kent.
If mould keeps returning or you are unsure where to start, a survey can help organise the next steps. Ask EMS about a mould survey and any testing requirements for your home or rental property in Kent.
Discuss your propertyA clearer picture before you act.
A survey and a laboratory test answer different questions. Inspection looks at the property and the conditions around the affected area; sampling examines material collected at a particular place and time. We discuss what you need to learn before agreeing the scope.
What to expectA clear plan,
A clear plan,
step by step.
- 01
Explain the problem
Share the history of leaks, condensation, previous treatment and the rooms you want assessed.
- 02
Agree the survey and any samples
Confirm the inspection scope, whether testing is appropriate, who will carry it out and any laboratory costs before booking.
- 03
Understand the findings
Agree what written findings you need and when to expect them. Ask for the observations, limitations and recommended next actions to be explained clearly.
Your questions, answered.
Can you inspect hidden areas?
Access and the agreed scope determine what can be inspected. Opening walls or moving fixed fittings requires separate agreement.
What if I need a report for a landlord or insurer?
Tell us who will use it and any requirements they have before booking, so we can confirm whether the proposed service is suitable.
What affects the cost of a survey?
The number of rooms, access, inspection scope and reporting requirements affect the price. Sampling and laboratory analysis, if needed, should be itemised separately so you know what the quote includes.
