Business Type

Ground floor commercial food service business with on site food preparation and storage areas, operating under strict hygiene and safety requirements.

The Problem

The business identified mould growth on the ceiling within a storage area. Our inspection confirmed the issue was caused by an ongoing roof leak via upstairs balcony, resulting in elevated moisture levels within ceiling linings and cavities. Left untreated, the conditions posed a risk to food safety, staff health, and business continuity.

Our Assessment

We completed a detailed mould and water damage inspection, including moisture mapping and ceiling cavity assessment. Elevated moisture readings were recorded across multiple locations, with visible mould like growth present on plasterboard and internal framework.

Due to the operational nature of the business, restoration planning focused on containment, hygiene control, and minimising disruption.

The Solution

A staged remediation plan was developed to meet commercial and food safety standards.

Works included
• Electrical make safe to affected ceiling fixtures
• Engineered containment and HEPA air filtration

• Cleaning or disposing of contents depending on restorability
  • Controlled removal of contaminated ceiling materials
  • Aggressive cleaning of exposed structural elements
  • HEPA vacuuming and wet wiping of all affected surfaces
  • Ongoing air filtration under negative pressure during works to prevent cross contamination
  • Moisture survey and drying works to return the building materials to the dry standard

All works were scheduled outside trading hours where possible.

The Outcome

Mould affected materials were safely removed, treated, and contained. The area was left clean, controlled, and suitable for reinstatement once the source leak is permanently rectified. The business was able to move forward without ongoing contamination risks.

Why This Project Matters

Food service environments require fast, controlled remediation when mould and moisture issues arise. This project demonstrates our ability to manage complex commercial restorations with minimal disruption while maintaining hygiene and compliance standards.
