Mould Risk Assessment

This tool provides an indicative risk rating based on common factors that contribute to mould growth. It is not a substitute for a professional inspection but gives you a useful starting point for understanding your property’s risk level.

A High or Critical result means your property has multiple factors that favour mould growth. We recommend getting a professional mould inspection to identify any existing or hidden mould and develop a remediation plan.
