Mould Remediation

Unfortunately sometimes material can become mouldy. This might be because they were in the path of a leak or flood, and/or kept in an unsuitable environment which nurtured mould growth over time.

It is very important that mould is dealt with quickly and safely. It poses both a risk of loss to the item, but should also be taken seriously as a health hazard to those handling and accessing this material.
