    RecordTurn photographs into evidence

    A close-up shows mould. A case shows the problem.

    Take the room, the affected area, a close-up and the possible source. We keep the order, date and context together so somebody else can understand what happened without guessing.

    A calm first read of what your photographs may show.

    See the likely pattern, urgency, evidence quality and confidence separately. When the photographs cannot answer something, the result says so and tells you what would help next.

    Condensation on a cold surfacePenetrating moisture at the window reveal cannot be ruled out from photographs alone.
    CONFIDENCE

    4Uncertainty and evidence gaps

    The photographs show where growth is and how far it extends. They do not show moisture readings, the wall construction or what is behind the reveal, so a hidden leak cannot be excluded.

    Share the case file with the landlord and ask for an inspection of the window reveal and lintel, including a moisture reading.

    A visual assessment from photographs and answers. Not a survey, legal advice, a medical opinion or an official hazard rating.

    ShareOne record · the same facts

    Give the right person the case, not another explanation from scratch.

    Share the evidence you choose with a landlord, agent, council or adviser in a read-only link. If an approved responder attaches the shared case, their signed-in response and follow-up can stay with the same dated record.

    The room can move on. The evidence does not disappear.

    When work is completed, add the follow-up and keep the case. If mould returns later, you reopen the same record instead of rebuilding the history.

    TrustIndependent by design

    Evidence should say what it knows, and what it doesn't.

    Stop The Mould is designed to make a record clearer, not to frighten people or sell a repair.

    01

    Observable

    Where growth appears, how far it extends and the pattern it follows are recorded as observations, and kept apart from conclusions.

    02

    Uncertain where necessary

    Confidence and evidence quality are separate fields. When the photographs cannot answer the question, the result says so and lists the evidence that would.

    03

    Independent

    We do not sell remediation, surveys or legal services and take no referral fees. The assessment has nothing to upsell.

    From first photograph to clear action.
