Three-bed mid-terrace, void turnaround

4 working days, start to handover
The record
Before, during and after
Rear bedroom — heavy ceiling and reveal growth
Dense black mould across the ceiling corner and around the window reveal, with blown emulsion and tannin staining running down the cold wall. Photographed and logged room by room before anything was touched.
Hall and stairwell — speckling and flaking paint
Speckled growth along the skirting and ceiling line with perished paint above the door head. A dead extract fan in the bathroom was flagged in writing to the repairs team on day one.
Containment and fungicidal wash
Rooms sheeted and fittings masked, then surface growth removed and two applications of professional fungicidal wash left to dwell and wiped back — including behind skirtings, reveals and ceiling junctions.
Making good, dustless sanding and stain-block
Blown paint scraped back, loose plaster cut out and filled, joints re-caulked and everything dustless sanded flat. Water and tannin staining sealed with a stain-blocking primer, followed by an anti-mould coating on affected areas.
Rear bedroom — decorated to lettable standard
Two finish coats to walls and ceiling in the provider's standard neutral, woodwork prepped and re-finished, floor swept and left clean for the incoming tenancy.
Hall and stairwell — handover
Full repaint through the hall, stairs and landing, with a dated completion photo pack issued alongside the invoice carrying the client's purchase-order reference.
Outcome
- Void returned in four working days against a five-day target
- Every affected room treated, sealed and fully repainted — not painted over
- Dated before / during / after photo pack issued with the invoice
- Dead bathroom extract fan reported in writing on day one for the repairs team
- Single point of contact and PO reference carried onto all paperwork
- Rates agreed for the remaining properties in the same programme
We treat the damp and mould, we do not fix the cause
This is a treatment and redecoration service. We remove and treat mould growth, seal staining, apply mould-resistant coatings and repaint. We do not diagnose or remedy the underlying defect — leaks, failed damp-proofing, roof or render issues, cold bridging or a lack of ventilation. Where the root cause remains unresolved, mould can return regardless of the standard of treatment and decoration, so our work is not warranted against recurrence in those circumstances. Colours shown may vary from the photographs.
