Inspection, fungicidal treatment, surface repair and anti-mould paint - the complete treatment, performed by a single team in a single visit.
Treat the cause, not the stain
Cleaning by wiping only removes the visible surface. As long as the conditions that promote mould continue, such as trapped moisture, condensation on cold walls, a drip or a room that is never dry, then mould will return. Climate in Singapore is humid all year round and any wall that remains moist can re-establish growth within weeks.
Our remediation combines two things that really disrupt the cycle: proper fungicidal treatment to kill the growth and treatment to alter surface conditions through sealing and anti-mould coatings — as well as straightforward answers to the moisture source that is feeding the growth.
Our 6-step treatment
Every step is there for a purpose. Do not do one, and the issue rears its head again in a few months, as is the case with the wipe and paint approach.
All treatments begin with the most important question: why is this wall damp? We check the rooms affected, document how far the mold is spreading beyond the visible and identify the probable source of moisture, such as condensation, a tiny leak or inadequate ventilation, to help the repair to last.
The work zone is isolated prior to any cleaning. Furniture is either removed or covered with sheeting, floors are covered and the room is isolated so no spores or debris from the furniture are disturbed during the treatment and spread to the rest of your home.
A professional grade fungicidal wash is applied to affected walls and ceilings, plus a perimeter of the affected area. The solution is allowed sufficient dwell time to break growth not only at the surface bloom, but at the root as well. This is the one thing household cleaning misses.
Blistered, flaked or broken down coatings are stripped back and damaged plaster is repaired or skim coated to ensure the wall is sound. Surfaces are then permitted to dry correctly – an example of this is repainting a damp wall, which is how mould issues get sealed in.
Mould leaves shadows and stains, that bleed through ordinary paint. A stain-blocking sealer seals the treated surface, trapping any stains and keeping the finish coats even and clear.
Anti-mould paint system in your chosen colours is used to complete the room. The fungicide in the paint film prevents new growth on the surface, the last line of defense, over a well-treated and sealed wall.
The honest caveat
Where we see water ingress, and it is moving, we will tell you straight up and refer you to the right specialist to stop the water first, when it is a failed roof joint, a leaking pipe or inter-floor seepage. We'd rather lose a day's work than sell a treatment that will not hold and treating and repainting an unresolved leak is a waste of your money.
Early warning signs
Two or more of these usually means growth inside the paint film or the plaster behind it — not just on the surface.

The finishing layer
Anti-mould paints contain fungicides in the paint film. The film repels new spores from settling on the wall, is washable, and maintains its colour in damp rooms; this is why we recommend it for bathrooms, kitchens, air-conditioned bedrooms and wardrobe linings.
What it isn't: a cover-up. Any paint, anti-mould or otherwise, will fail when applied over a live growth or a damp substrate. That's why painting isn't the first step of our process, it's the last.
Pricing, honestly
Caught early, treatment is genuinely inexpensive — cost climbs with spread and repairs. The drivers:

FAQ
What Singapore homeowners ask us most about mould and anti-mould painting.
No — and this is the most expensive shortcut in painting. Mould grows straight through fresh paint within weeks, and the new coat peels as the growth lifts it off the wall. The surface must be treated with a fungicidal wash, repaired and sealed first; painting is the final step of the fix, never the fix itself.
Household bleach often lightens the stain without killing the root structure inside porous plaster — and the moisture it adds can even feed regrowth. Professional fungicidal washes are formulated to penetrate the substrate, and we pair them with sealing and anti-mould coatings so the result lasts.
Most single-room treatments are completed within a day, with drying time between the treatment, repair and painting stages. Larger areas or walls needing plaster repair typically run two to three days. Your quotation states the schedule exactly.
It is worth taking seriously. Mould spores can aggravate allergies and respiratory sensitivity — particularly for children, elderly family members and anyone with asthma — and beyond health, active growth steadily damages paintwork and plaster. Early treatment is smaller, cheaper and safer.
Not if both causes are addressed: the growth itself and the moisture feeding it. Our treatment handles the first; our inspection identifies the second — ventilation, condensation or a leak — so you know exactly what keeps the wall clear long-term.
Yes. Flaking coatings are stripped, damaged plaster is repaired or skim-coated, stains are sealed and the room is repainted — one team, one visit, one fixed quotation. You do not need to arrange a separate plasterer and painter.
Bathroom walls and ceilings, air-conditioned bedrooms, wardrobe interiors and the walls behind them, and ceiling corners in older HDB flats and condos — plus offices and commercial premises with condensation issues.
Mould often appears alongside other surface problems: spalling concrete on damp ceilings, or walls needing a skim coat after removal. Repainting the whole home after treatment? See our HDB and condo painting packages.
