Mould Air Quality Testing (Air Pump Test)
Description: This test uses a specialist air-sampling pump to collect airborne mould spores from inside a property, with outdoor air sampling where appropriate for comparison. Samples are sent to an accredited laboratory to assess airborne mould spore concentrations and identify mould types where the analysis allows.
Value: Unlike a surface swab test, which checks for mould DNA on a specific surface, air sampling investigates mould spores circulating in the air, including where visible mould growth may not be present. This test helps investigate suspected airborne mould contamination and supports damp and mould assessments so that appropriate remedial action can be determined.

This service can be beneficial when:
- Suspected airborne mould contamination is present without obvious visual signs.
- Occupants experience persistent musty odours or unexplained respiratory irritation.
- Recurrent condensation, poor ventilation, or high humidity issues are suspected.
- Verification of indoor air quality is needed following a leak or water ingress.
- Confirmation is required on circulating spore levels before or after remedial works.
Before You Book
Note: Air mould sampling assesses active airborne spores at the time of testing. Results are analysed alongside external baseline samples, structural moisture readings, ventilation performance and visible property conditions. Survey fee credited when repairs are completed by us.

How is the sample collected?
A specialist air-sampling pump collects airborne mould spores from inside the property, with outdoor air sampling where appropriate for comparison. Samples are sent to an accredited laboratory.
How is this different from a swab test?
A surface swab test checks for mould DNA on a specific surface. Air sampling investigates mould spores circulating in the air, including where visible mould growth may not be present.
What do the results show?
The laboratory assesses airborne mould spore concentrations and identifies mould types where the analysis allows.
Are the results read on their own?
No. Air mould sampling assesses active airborne spores at the time of testing, and results are analysed alongside external baseline samples, structural moisture readings, ventilation performance and visible property conditions.
Do I pay for this twice if you carry out the repairs?
No. The survey fee is credited when repairs are completed by us.
