Bradford's large stone mills and busy city centre mean booklice turn up in stores, offices and flats as much as in family houses.
Bradford's wool-trade heritage left a great many big stone buildings, and plenty of them are now flats, studios, offices and storage space. Large floors with dated windows and uneven heating are awkward to keep dry. Booklice often start in a forgotten corner: a cupboard of archived files, a unit of stacked cardboard or a flat's spare room that has been closed up. From there they spread along shelving.
Terraced streets in the city have more familiar problems, with solid walls, cold bedrooms and condensation that dries into mould behind furniture. Whether the job is a mill-conversion flat, a landlord's block or a family terrace, we inspect, trace the moisture, treat what is affected and write down what we find if you need a record. Commercial service contracts are available, and there are no call-out charges.
It depends on the tenancy agreement and the cause. If the damp comes from the building, the landlord may need to act, while stored belongings and housekeeping are usually the tenant's concern. We can inspect, treat and give a written note of findings for you to share.
Yes, we can record what we found, where, and what was done, which businesses often need for audits or their own files. If you want regular checks across several rooms or sites, a service contract can be arranged. Ask when you call.
