Mould and Damp Bathroom Repair in Hanley
Leaks, re-seals, tile and grout repairs, shower swaps and quick fixes.
Bathroom mould in a Hanley home is almost never a cleaning problem — it's a moisture-in vs moisture-out imbalance. If we come in and just paint over it, it's back in six months. If we fix the extract, the cold bridges and the silicone at the same time, it doesn't come back.
We measure the extract flow at survey (l/s at the grille, not on the box), identify cold bridges with a thermal read on external walls, and re-silicone with anti-fungal grade sealant only after the moisture cause is treated.
When Hanley homeowners ask us about bathroom repairs, the first thing we look at is the room itself.
Mould and Damp Bathroom Repair FAQs — Hanley
- Why does mould keep coming back in my Hanley bathroom?
- Almost always because the extract fan is undersized, badly ducted, or missing entirely on a Hanley bathroom. Painting over it doesn't fix the moisture cycle.
- Do you test extract flow?
- Yes — we test with an anemometer at the grille on every Hanley damp job. Building Regs minimum is 15 l/s; older fans on kinked flexible ducting often measure 4-6 l/s.
- Can you treat mould without stripping tiles?
- Usually yes — the source fix (extract, silicone, insulation) doesn't need tile removal on most Hanley jobs. Only water-damaged substrate needs opening up.
- What sealant do you use?
- Anti-fungal, high-modulus neutral cure silicone with a 10-year mould warranty. Standard on every Hanley damp fix.
- Do you provide a fixed-price quote before starting?
- Always. After a free home visit in Hanley we send a fully itemised, fixed-price quotation — no surprises on invoice day.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Hanley home liveable while the work runs.
