Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about damp, mould, and moisture problems on the Costa del Sol.

Why does mould keep coming back after it's been treated?

Mould and damp return when the original work treated what you could see rather than what was actually causing it. In most cases that comes down to the wrong materials being used, the treatment not being applied properly, or the real moisture source never being identified in the first place. Until that underlying cause is resolved, it will keep coming back — however many times the surface is cleaned or repainted.

How long does it take to fix damp or mould?

The assessment visit itself usually takes around an hour. The repair depends on the cause and how advanced it is, and this is the part people don't always expect: what you're seeing today is usually the end of a long, slow chain of moisture problems that built up over months or years. The quick, cheap fix is what most people try first, but it rarely holds — resolving the actual cause properly takes time, because we treat the source rather than disguise the surface.

Why is my home damp when the Costa del Sol is so dry?

It catches almost everyone who moves here by surprise, but the coastal climate is harder on buildings than it looks: high humidity, salt-laden sea air, and warm days followed by cool nights all push moisture into the home. The most common result by far is condensation — warm, humid indoor air meeting cold walls, especially north-facing ones, which is why so many people notice a bedroom or bathroom wall turning black in winter. Older villas are particularly prone to it, as many were built without the modern insulation or ventilation that lets moisture escape.

Can I just paint over mould or use bleach to remove it?

Painting over mould or wiping it with bleach only hides the problem, but neither actually treats the cause. Bleach removes what's visible while the root cause remains and mould returns within weeks; ordinary paint does the same, and the mould simply grows back through it. A proper solution can include a specialist anti-condensation-coating on the wall — but only after resolving the underlying moisture, never as a way of covering it up.

Should I get a property checked for damp before I buy it on the Costa del Sol?

Yes — a pre-purchase moisture inspection can save you from buying a property with hidden, expensive problems, whether it's for your own use or to rent out later. It's one of the few visits we charge for upfront, because it involves a full investigation of a property you don't yet own, plus a written report you can rely on. A standard assessment of a home you already own stays free; what's charged is the pre-purchase inspection and any formal written report, such as one for insurance — both of which mean extra investigation and documentation.

How much does it cost to fix damp or mould?

The honest answer is that it depends entirely on what's causing the problem and how far it has spread — which is why we always begin with a proper assessment. For a property you already own, that assessment is free and without obligation, and it gives you a clear diagnosis and an estimate before any work starts. We're not the cheapest option on the Costa del Sol and we don't aim to be: our clients want the problem solved properly once, rather than paying again and again for quick fixes that fail.

Is damp or mould in my home bad for my health?

Long-term exposure to mould can contribute to respiratory problems, allergies, headaches and worsened asthma, particularly for children, older people and anyone with existing sensitivities. The risk tends to grow the longer a problem is left and the further it spreads behind walls and surfaces where you can't see it. It's one of the reasons we treat damp as a health matter and not just a cosmetic one.

What's the difference between condensation and rising damp?

Condensation is the most common problem we see here — it forms when warm, moist indoor air meets a cold surface, and it's usually behind the black mould in bathrooms, kitchens and on north-facing walls; the real fix is improving ventilation and, where needed, the application of an specialist anti-condensation coating once the moisture itself is under control. Rising damp is also very common and even more serious: it draws ground moisture up through the wall and often shows up as bubbly or chiped paint, a tide mark or white, powdery salt deposits low down, typically in older properties without a proper barrier. When it is rising damp, the long-lasting solution is a damp-proofing barrier injected into the wall — one of the specialist treatments we're best known for.

Do I need to move out while the work is being done?

How do I find a damp specialist I can trust on the Costa del Sol?

Look for a specialist who starts by diagnosing the real cause rather than reaching straight for a quote, and who handles the entire job themselves — assessment, diagnosis, planning and the work — with no hand-offs to other trades. We work in English with expat homeowners right across the Costa del Sol, focus on long-lasting solutions that fix the root cause instead of quick cosmetic fixes, and are rated five stars by more than 40 homeowners. That start-to-finish ownership means you get one accountable team and one clear answer, rather than a chain of contractors blaming each other.
