Only once this is resolved should surface treatments begin.


Step 2: remove and treat the mould Once the source of the damp and mould has been resolved, the next step is to remove any existing mould and treat the surface to prevent it from returning. This should be done using fungicidal washes and mould removers  spores and prepare surfaces for repainting.
