Price examples
The following real-life situations will give you an idea of the total cost of having mould removed.
The cheapest choice
Do you have mould in your home due to a leak that has already been repaired? If so, removing the mould will cost you an average of £75 (3 m2).
Most common choice
Most moulds occur in the bathroom because it is the most humid place in your home. Having mould removed from your bathroom and the edges by your shower and/or bath will cost you around £150.
Luxury choice
Do you want to get rid of a large area of mould and have the wall professionally finished straight away? Having 10m2 of mould removed and a fresh coat of paint applied to your wall by a painter will cost you around £500 in total. Getting rid of 10m2 of mould and having tight plaster applied to your wall is cheaper and will cost you around £400 in total.
How are the costs of mould removal structured?
Choices that determine the price of mould removal
Part of the price of having mould removed is in your own control, including the following choices you make.
Choice 1: Do it yourself or call in a specialist
You can do it yourself with bleach or DIY mould remover (about £20 per pack), but this will not tackle the cause of the mould. Do you really want the mould removed properly and thoroughly? Then get a specialist to visit you to determine the cause and remove the mould with professional means to get rid of it for good.
Choice 2: Surface area
The price of mould removal largely depends on the surface area to be treated. To get a good price estimate, you can assume that mould removal will cost around £25 – £50 per m2 of mould.
Choice 3: Tackle the cause
Mould stems from moisture problems. Merely removing the mould is therefore not always the solution to the problem. After removing the mould, the specialist can advise you to have one of the options below carried out so that you can be sure that your house will soon be permanently mould-free.
