A luxury fashion retailer discovered extensive mould growth in their stockroom and behind display units. The contamination had spread through HVAC ducts, affecting staff health and risking expensive inventory. They needed complete remediation with minimal store closure.
Our Solution
- Night-shift work schedule (10pm-6am) to maintain store operation
- Sealed containment zones to prevent spore spread to retail floor
- HEPA-filtered negative air pressure systems
- Complete HVAC cleaning and antimicrobial treatment
- Emergency inventory relocation and protection
- Air quality testing and certification upon completion
Results
Complete remediation achieved in 5 nights with only 1 day of store closure for final treatment. Post-remediation air quality tests showed mould spore counts 90% below outdoor ambient levels. Client maintained operations during peak shopping season.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do commercial remediation requirements differ from residential?
Commercial projects require: work scheduling around business hours, stricter containment to prevent customer exposure, faster completion timelines, documentation for insurance and compliance, larger-scale equipment, and often coordination with building management and other tenants.
Can businesses continue operating during mould remediation?
Often yes, with proper planning. We can work after hours, create isolated work zones, and phase the remediation to minimize disruption. For severe contamination affecting the entire space, temporary closure may be necessary for staff and customer safety.
What documentation is provided for commercial clients?
We provide: initial assessment report with photos, remediation plan, safety data sheets for products used, air quality test results (before and after), completion certificate, and recommendations for preventing recurrence. This documentation supports insurance claims and regulatory compliance.
How quickly can commercial mould remediation be completed?
Timeline depends on scope. Small retail spaces (under 50 sqm) typically take 2-3 days. Medium commercial spaces take 1-2 weeks. Large facilities may require 3-4 weeks. We can expedite with extended hours or multiple teams if business needs require faster completion.
