Mould Management for Social Housing

Most landlords pay for the same mould problem twice.

There's a reason mould keeps coming back. Conventional treatments remove the stain — not the organism. The Protectus™ Mould Eradication Kit is designed to fix it at root level, the first time.

THE PROBLEM

Bleach removes the stain. It doesn't kill the mould.

Bleach has high surface tension. It sits on the surface, clears the visible staining, and evaporates. Meanwhile, the water content — around 95% of the solution — penetrates the porous wall material and feeds the mould root structure beneath. The organism survives and regrows within weeks.

For housing teams, the result is a predictable cycle: another complaint, another contractor visit, another invoice.

Multiply that across a portfolio and the cost of ineffective first treatments becomes a significant operational liability.

  • Bleach cannot penetrate plaster, paint or masonry pores
  • Mould root (mycelium) survives surface-level treatment
  • Water in bleach solution actively feeds the root
  • Repeat contractor visits cost £300–£500 each
  • Each untreated complaint increases legal exposure
  • Housing disrepair claims average £10,000+
  • Bleach also degrades surfaces, compounding repair costs

THE SOLUTION

Root-level eradication. Same-day dispatch.

The Protectus™ formulation has inherently low surface tension — not as an additive, but as a fundamental property of the solution. It penetrates the capillaries and microscopic pores of plaster, paint, grout and timber, carrying active biocidal components directly to the mould root. The organism is killed both on the surface and at the root source.

The Kit contain everything the tenants' will need to eradicate mould. Kits are dispatched directly to tenants by post or courier — allowing documented first action within hours of a complaint, without waiting for a contractor visit.
