Confirm hidden mould at DNA level.
A laboratory qPCR test that detects mould contamination at DNA level and names the species present. It is the same method environmental hygienists and insurance investigators rely on when they need certainty about hidden contamination.

DNA evidence, not a visual guess.
Contamination often hides behind walls, under floors or inside insulation with nothing showing on the surface. DNA analysis settles the question: it confirms whether contamination is present and identifies the exact species, including the ones most linked to health and building risk.
Stachybotrys
The infamous “black mould”. Linked with long-running water damage and hidden saturation, and usually the species clients most want ruled in or out.
Aspergillus
A widespread genus whose species matter for respiratory and immune health, which makes knowing exactly what is present important.
Penicillium
A regular companion of damp and condensation. Because it colonises quickly, its presence usually points to an active moisture problem.
Everything the kit includes.
One price covers the whole chain: kit to your door, express courier to the accredited laboratory, the written report, and a secure digital backup.
Primary laboratory swab
One primary swab taken for full laboratory DNA analysis.
Secondary backup swab
A clearly marked second swab from the same spot. If the primary sample comes back unclear, the backup is analysed automatically.
Kit delivery to your address
The full kit arrives ready to use with plain sampling instructions.
Express courier to the laboratory
Once your swabs reach us, they travel by express courier to the accredited European laboratory.
Full written laboratory report
The written report lands within 2 to 5 working days of the lab receiving your sample.
Secure digital backup
A backup copy of the report is stored securely on file for whenever you need it.
One central sample can represent up to 150m².
Because qPCR analysis is so sensitive, one well-placed central sample can speak for a large area, which keeps the cost down without giving up laboratory accuracy.
Primary laboratory swab
The primary swab goes for full laboratory DNA analysis.
Secondary backup swab
The marked backup swab is held in reserve and analysed automatically if the primary result is unclear.
Kit delivery to your address
The full kit arrives ready to use with plain sampling instructions.
What the report means for you.
The report gives you solid evidence either way. Here is what each outcome usually means and what tends to follow.
Hidden contamination is likely present.
A positive result points to contamination behind or inside the building fabric: walls, floors or insulation.
Locating and safely removing the source is then a job for a professional investigation or remediation service.
Laboratory evidence for your records.
A clear result is laboratory-grade evidence for the tested area: useful for peace of mind, tenancy files, sale or purchase due diligence, and insurance correspondence.
The report and its secure backup stay on file for your records.
Follow-up work or inspection is not part of the test price and is quoted separately at standard professional rates. Site visits are fully chargeable given travel distances and the specialist nature of the work, and are not discounted against the test. The test buys laboratory evidence; investigation and remediation are separate services.
Laboratory precision, independently verifiable.
The same DNA method environmental consultants and insurance assessors use across Europe, chosen for its precision, speed and verifiability.
DNA-level precision
Names the exact species present, even when contamination is dormant or hidden with no surface sign at all.
Trusted across Europe
Relied on by environmental consultants and insurance assessors when hidden contamination has to be confirmed.
Fast turnaround
The written report is delivered within 2 to 5 working days of the lab receiving the sample.
Accredited analysis
Analysis is performed to European qPCR standards at an accredited European laboratory.
Backup swab assurance
The backup swab from the same spot guarantees a dependable result even if the primary is unclear.
Wide area coverage
A single well-placed sample can represent up to 150m² per floor, keeping cost down without losing accuracy.
