Traditional damp and mould remediation has long centred on addressing visible damage by removing affected plaster, treating underlying masonry, and applying mould-resistant coatings. While these actions are important, they do not always eliminate the less visible problem of airborne fungal spores, which can continue to impact indoor air quality, occupant wellbeing, and the durability of the remediation work.

Evolving the Standard of Property Care.

For commercial property managers, landlords and business owners, air quality is a matter of compliance and liability.

• Duty of Care: Employers have a legal duty of care to provide a safe working environment. Following a mould outbreak in an office or retail space, providing an air purification period offers documented proof that the business has taken every possible step to ensure the air is safe for employees to breathe.
• Faster Return to Occupation: By scrubbing the air, we reduce airborne contamination quickly, allowing staff or tenants to return to the space with confidence.
• Eliminating “Musty” Odours: Mould produces Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds (MVOCs) – the source of that distinctive, unpleasant damp smell. Our air units use activated carbon filters alongside HEPA filters to neutralise these odours, restoring a fresh, professional atmosphere to the premises immediately.
• Protecting Stock and Equipment: In warehouses or retail environments, airborne spores can settle on and damage organic stock (fabrics, paper, wood). By “scrubbing” the air post-treatment, we protect your inventory from cross-contamination.

 When is This Service Recommended?

Visible black mould on a wall is often a sign of a fully developed colony. As it grows, the colony continuously releases countless microscopic spores into the surrounding air.  To ensure the most comprehensive property care and safety of human health, we recommend air purification in the following scenarios:

• After mould removal: Helps capture airborne spores released during the remediation process.
• In occupied properties: Supports improved indoor air quality for residents and staff straight away.
• During invasive building work: Useful when plaster, masonry, or other materials are being removed.
• Following flood damage: Assists with maintaining cleaner air throughout the drying phase.
• For persistent odours: Can help reduce lingering damp or musty smells within a property.

How Air Purification Works

We understand that most businesses and homeowners don’t need to own an industrial air scrubber year-round. That is why we have designed this as a high-impact service option to choose from alongside traditional damp treatments.

1. Professional Remediation: Prokil completes your mould remediation or damp treatment.
2. Unit Deployment: We install the air purification unit in the affected zone.
3. The 48-72 Hour “Scrub”: The unit runs continuously, exchanging the air in the room 4 to 8 times every hour.
4. Fresh Air Return: After the time period, we remove the unit, leaving the room with clean, sterile and odour-free air.

Air purification is the perfect partner to our other specialist services. When combined with a damp survey and the installation of a damp proof course, it provides a layered defence against property decay. While the damp proofing stops the moisture and the mould remediation removes the growth, the air purification removes the risk.
