5 Best Mold Removal Services in Glasgow That Actually Break the Mold Cycle
I spotted black specks creeping along the bedroom corner and went straight into Dad Mode, because if my kid’s breathing is on the line, I’m not treating it like a weekend chore for the house cleaners!
Where I live, damp doesn’t disappear after a wipe down. It comes back if the cause is still there. That’s why I’m on a mission to find a proper mould removal service in Glasgow that knows why it’s happening, not just tidy up the surface.
Rising damp, penetrating damp, and poor ventilation in older tenements all need a root-cause fix, or the mould returns. This review is for homeowners, landlords, and tenants who need an assessment they can use to push repairs through.
How much does mould removal cost in Glasgow?
It’s recommended to start with a professional damp/mould survey to avoid paying for the wrong fix. Many remediation firms charge £60 to £120 and often refund if you proceed, while an independent damp survey can cost £150 to £500, depending on scope and any testing.
For surface mould cleaning in a single room, budget around £300 to £600, with the price rising if the affected area is larger, access is tricky, or there’s heavier contamination.
If you’re preventing recurrence, installing a PIV costs around £800 to £1,200. And if the root cause is rising damp, a DPC injection can cost £500 to £2,000, depending on the wall length and whether replastering is needed.

Once I saw mould in my kid’s room, I wasn’t going to book a generic cleaner and hope for the best. I wanted someone who treats it like the health and building problem that it is.
Mould Pro felt built for my dad-level panic because they started with finding the why and not just scrubbing off the what with bleach. They’re great at investigation work, especially structural damp vs condensation call-outs.
I like that they offer a fully independent damp survey and spell out the root cause before recommending next steps. That makes them pretty handy for pre-purchase or landlord decisions, where they need objective findings rather than a hard sell.
But even for dads like me, I appreciated their consultancy-led approach. There was a survey first, then a clear remediation plan, then a proper clean-up that considers mould spores in the air and hidden areas like attics and sub-floors.
They lean more towards targeted treatments and air-cleaning than being a mechanical-ventilation installer, with options like dry fogging using PAA services aimed at mycotoxin concerns. If your mould keeps returning, they have specialists who can tell you when ventilation upgrades are needed.
I also commend the owner-operator Stevie, who oversees every job with no subcontracting, so accountability doesn’t get passed around.
That said, because they’re a small niche outfit, lead times can depend on Stevie’s schedule, so it’s not always a next-day fix with this company.

2. Richardson & Starling
Address: 8 Cambuslang Way
Contact: +441412124348
Hours:
Monday to Thursday, 8 AM–5 PM
Friday, 8 AM–4 PM
My hoarder mum’s flat had mould so widespread that it stopped being a cleaning problem and started feeling like a health emergency (which it was, given her weak lungs).
Richardson & Starling were the first lot who treated it that way, starting with a proper inspection and containment. Their approach is a combination of remediation and prevention, using air filtration, cleaning and sanitisation, and antimicrobial agents, before making recommendations to stop it from returning.
From my observation, they’re great at structural damp and diagnosis-led fixes, especially in older Glasgow stock where mould is usually just the symptom. Their key services go beyond mould, too: damp surveys and treatment, rising and penetrating damp, condensation control, basement waterproofing, plus timber issues like wet/dry rot.
Mum was reassured to find out they’re PCA members and that they back their work with long-term transferable guarantees. It’s exactly what she needed, since her flat needs more than a cosmetic fix in our constantly dreich weather before she can pass it down to her kids.
However, because they’re thorough and survey-led, it can feel slower than a spray-and-go mould cleaner, especially if damp repairs are needed before the final finish looks right. Also, mould fogging usually means tenants (and pets) must vacate during treatment and stay out until the property has been fully ventilated.
Customer Reviews
The onsite team were excellent
I used Richardson and Starling due to a couple of previous positive experiences. True to form the lived up to my high expectations. The pre-work surveys were carried out bang on time, a fair price was given, and a flexible date for the work was scheduled. The damp proofing work was completed quickly and efficiently. The onsite team were excellent, worked effectively and cleanly. The finishing of the plaster work was excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending Richardson and Starling.

The work was completed on time and on budget
R & S. did a great job. The work was completed on time and on budget. The workmen on site, Neil and Lucas, were always pleasant and presentable, leaving the premises in a clean state and doing their jobs well. Well done and thank you.

3. Pure Maintenance UK – Mould Testing & Remediation Specialists
Address: 27 Alvis Way, Daventry
Contact: +443337729288
Hours: Monday to Friday, 9 AM–6 PM
Our workplace needed a proper commercial mould treatment, not a frantic wipe-down and a prayer from the custodian. When the air started getting extra stuffy, our boss got Pure Maintenance UK because they do fast, building-wide sterilisation for spaces that can’t afford lingering spores.
They were recommended to us for their commercial deep-clean sterilisation and mould remediation services. They clicked because we were specifically looking for coverage that reaches air, surfaces, furniture, wall-to-wall carpeting, and awkward voids without ripping the place apart.
Their approach is more on chemical treatment, using a patented dry-fog process plus antimicrobial film to help prevent regrowth. We also got a straightforward safety net: a 12-month warranty, and they’ll return if it recurs in that window.
If you’re managing an office, retail unit, housing portfolio, or commercial property and need a rapid reset, they’re a practical call. They also do mould remediation, sterilisation/disinfection, and broader environmental hygiene work for mould, bacteria, and odours.
However, they’re not primarily a structural damp survey or damp-proofing firm, so if the mould is driven by rising/penetrating damp, you’ll likely need a separate damp specialist to fix the underlying fabric issue.
Customer Reviews
Very efficient at getting the job done
Great experience from point of contact through to completion of the job. All aspects of the work were gone through with options to consider depending on what was right for us. Dan, who carried out the work, was on time, friendly, informative, going through everything, completing a survey pinpointing the issue. Very efficient at getting the job done, leaving a great difference in our house re mould treatment and removal. Great effort all round. Thank you.

The humidity is down from 70% to the 50s
We had a serious issue with black mould and very high humidity in the flat, so we got in touch with Pure Maintenance for help. They did a great job on my walls, all the mould is clear from the walls, and the humidity is down from 70% to the 50s, which it should be. They provided a full report along with helpful tips on how to keep the mould at bay, which I really appreciated. They were very quick to respond when I first made an enquiry, and the whole booking process was straightforward and easy. Elliott was extremely knowledgeable, and it was reassuring that the person I spoke to on the phone and emailed was the same person who came to my house. It wasn’t the cheapest service, but the quality of the work, detailed report, and expert advice made it well worth the cost. I would definitely recommend them.

4. Matheson Damp Services Ltd – Damp Proofing
Address: Paxton House, c/o McAllisters, 11 Woodside Cres
Contact: +441417378655
Hours: Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM
My close pal’s flat had that classic Glasgow combo of streaming windows, lace curtains…and mould creep. So I told her it’s no longer quaint and to stop fighting it with sprays and bleach, and get someone to diagnose it properly.
Matheson Damp Services felt like the sensible choice for her because they start with a damp survey and can explain what’s driving the condensation in her flat. They cover the damp-and-timber world: rising damp, water penetration, condensation/mould, timber infestation, and basement proofing.
They’ve been a family business since 2006. They also offer finance options, including 0% APR routes, in case the fix turns into a bigger job than expected.
They’re ideal for ventilation-led condensation issues and structural damp checks, especially when you need someone to separate poor airflow from rising or penetrating damp.
Their survey-first, practical approach points out ventilation and circulation issues before remedial work. My friend got a survey quotation within 48 working hours, with a drawing of the affected area, which made the plan feel concrete for her.
She also likes that they offer pre-purchase surveys. They can do full written reports with photos and a drawing, which is useful for solicitors or mortgage providers in case she wants to get a new place.
Do note that, for condensation mould, they lean more towards diagnosis, advice, and targeted treatment rather than selling a mechanical ventilation installation package. This means you may need a separate installer for a PIV extractor upgrade.
Customer Reviews
They made me feel like I mattered.
Extremely satisfied with the service that I’ve had with Chris, Karen & all the highly experienced workmen. They made me feel like I mattered. They were all very good at their job, worked very hard, did the job very well and left the place spotless when finished. I would highly recommend Matheson Damp Services and would have no hesitation in the future to use them again.

The team showed up on time, worked cleanly and efficiently
Penetrating damp in the 2 bedrooms was my issue. Overall, content with the completed work. Team showed up on time, worked cleanly and efficiently, and communication was clear throughout, particularly when queries were raised on a couple of issues on reinstatement. Note that plastering reinstatement is only carried out on the part of the wall being worked on (this was pointed out by the company), but you might want to factor in the additional cost of plastering additional areas on a wall to ensure a smooth wall finish after repair work is completed and before redecorating. The last photo reflects this post-work redecoration.

5. DampMaster Glasgow
Contact: +441413751117
Hours: Monday to Saturday, 8 AM–6 PM
My neighbour had just done damp proofing for his living room when I caught him staring at his wall like it owed him rent. Turns out, it needed proper replastering, not the patchy DIY rescue he’s attempting with glue and wallpaper.
DampMaster Glasgow made sense to do it for him because they don’t stop at treatment, but can finish the job so the space actually looks lived-in again. They’re best for structural damp and the messy aftermath, especially with plaster, lime, or cement walls.
For condensation and mould-affected flats, they don’t just nuke the surface and call it a day. Their plastering specifically calls out breathable, salt-resistant plaster for post-treatment walls, which is what he needed before decorating.
Their fix is more about breaking the cycle of mould and damp with ventilation and insulation improvements, plus targeted treatments. They’re PCA-approved, with key services including damp proofing, condensation control, mould work, and tidy-ups.
That said, because they can do damp treatment and reinstatement plastering, the scope can snowball fast. It’s a good thing if you want one firm, and less great if you only budgeted for a quick cosmetic fix.

They also gave me very useful recommendations for keeping mould at bay
Yousaf and team did a great job removing mould from my property. They came in person to assess the problem without a charge and provided clear and transparent information throughout the process. They also gave me very useful recommendations for keeping mould at bay. I strongly recommend using this company for any mould and damp-related issues.
