Hi %FIRSTNAME%, many housing associations find they're effectively paying for the same mould problem twice - the first treatment clears the stain, but not the root. Regrowth follows, the complaint returns, and the costs double. Which of these tends to be the bigger pressure for your team? We're Protectus - our new white paper sets out the full picture on mould costs and compliance risk in social housing.

Most landlords pay for the same mould problem twice. The first contractor visit treats the surface. Bleach removes the stain — not the mould. The root system survives, and within weeks the problem returns. Another call. Another visit. Another invoice. The Protectus Mould Eradication Kit is designed to fix the problem at root level the first time — and can be dispatched directly to your tenant the same day a complaint is received, without waiting for a contractor. Kit cost: £35–£50. Average contractor repeat visit: £300–£500.

Mould keeps coming back because standard treatments don't reach the root. The Protectus™ Mould Eradication Kit does. Everything your tenant needs to treat it properly, delivered to the door. The Protectus™ Mould Eradication Kit contains a low surface tension biocidal formulation that penetrates plaster, paint and grout to kill mould at the source. Gloves, mask, brushes, micro fibre clothes, collapsible bucket and step-by-step instructions included. One kit. No repeat visits.

Your tenant has reported mould. What happens next determines whether you're dealing with a simple fix — or a recurring problem that costs you every few months. Most landlords treat mould with bleach. Over half the time it returns. That means another complaint, another contractor, another bill. The Protectus™ Mould Spray reaches the root system which bleach can't touch — eliminating the cycle, not just the stain.

Every time mould comes back, you're paying £300–£500 for the same contractor to do the same job. There's a reason it keeps returning. Over half of standard mould treatments result in visible recurrence. The mould root system survives bleach — and regrows. For landlords managing even one or two properties, that's a recurring cost that compounds. The Protectus™ Mould Spray kills mould at root level, reducing repeat visits and protecting the fabric of your property long-term.
