Do not worry as we can help you with all the problems below & more on a NO WIN - NO FEE basis
Mould Issues
Moulds produce allergens (substances that can cause an allergic reaction), irritants and, sometimes, toxic substances. Inhaling or touching mould spores may cause an allergic reaction, such as sneezing, a runny nose, red eyes and skin rash. Moulds can also cause asthma attacks
Damp Issues
As with most health risks, it’s babies, young children and the elderly who are going to be susceptible to developing irritation and allergies to mould spores caused by damp.
Water Leaks
Even a minor pipe leak can cause serious damage to ceilings, carpet, and hardwood flooring. A leak can leave visible water stains and other damage that's irreversible, plus it can cause mold, which is hazardous to your health.
Heating Issues
Consistent exposure to low temperatures causes the narrowing of blood vessels, which can lead to increased blood pressure. Increased blood pressure increases the risk of stroke and heart attack. At its worst, exposure to extreme cold can lead to life-threatening diseases such as hypothermia.
