Competitor |
|
Value |
Access to specialists in mould and water damage assessment. All staff have PhD or MSc qualifications in microbiology. |
Minimally trained staff often with just short course vocational training offering testing and treatment solutions. Others provide suspicious, low cost, or free assessments with low certainty of performance or accuracy. A headache to overcome and work through dodgy results or advice. |
|
Cost |
Up to 50% cheaper while providing superior results. We don’t outsource anything. Everything we do in our labs. All rooms and areas assessed. Prices matched to the size of the home or building. |
Expensive with high employment costs and on-costs for sending samples to be analysed at 3rd party labs. Further hidden costs for interpretation. |
|
Results |
Our reports are regularly used for dispute resolution at mediation or as part of civil litigation. |
Often limited sampling due to high costs to test every room or area. Staff may use only limited types of testing due to a lack of access to appropriate lab facilities. |
|
Risk |
Proudly independent and unbiased results. We are not a preferred service supplier to the insurance, real estate or restoration industry. All lab work is manually done and all procedures follow internationally recognized quality processes for ISO 9001:2015, and ISO 17025:2017 and ISO 15189:2012. |
Results may be written towards an objective such as limiting liability or rubber-stamping remediation. Results interpretation can be misleading or wrong due to reliance on AI and machine learning. No or limited quality process achieved. |
|
Process |
We listen to your situation and reasons for needing an assessment (e.g. occupational health, medical or health provider request, insurance or building claim or rental dispute). We then arrange a convenient time for assessment, attend your property to inspect and collect air and surface samples. Full written report with conclusions and recommendations to follow. |
A technician, occupational hygienist or building biologist attends site and fills in questionnaires using a one-size fits all approach. Limited samples collected and then sent to 3rd party lab for analysis. Then on receipt of lab results, the technician writes a new report. This broken chain of thinking often means that recommendations or conclusions don’t follow on from the data or the known facts. |
