Attic Cleaning & Mould Removal in Dublin 4 and Dublin 6

Period homes in Ballsbridge, Sandymount, Rathmines, Ranelagh and Rathgar need careful attic and damp work. BioClean cleans attics, treats mould and looks after roofs and gutters across Dublin 4 and Dublin 6.

Period homes and what we find in their attics

Dublin 4 and Dublin 6 are known for Victorian and Edwardian red-brick houses: tall terraces in Rathmines and Ranelagh, grand family homes in Rathgar and Ballsbridge, and smaller cottages in Ringsend, Irishtown and Sandymount. Most have natural slate roofs, lime mortar and solid brick walls.

These buildings were designed to breathe. Moisture moves in and out of the walls and roof, and the air gaps under the slates keep the timbers dry. Problems start when that balance is upset: modern insulation is packed tight against the roof, valley gutters and parapet gutters block with leaves, or a chimney stops drawing air. Moisture gets trapped, and mould grows on the timbers, on high bedroom ceilings and in basements.

Many of these roof spaces are also hard to reach, with small hatches at the top of steep stairs, and they often hold decades of stored items and old materials. Careful work and a respect for the building matter here.

The problems we see most often

• Dusty, hard-to-reach roof spaces full of old materials. See attic cleaning.
• Mould on roof timbers where the attic can no longer breathe. See attic mould treatment.
• Mould on high ceilings, walls and in basements. See mould removal.
• Blocked valley and parapet gutters that let water in. See gutter cleaning.
• Moss on slate roofs and green conservatory roofs on rear extensions. See roof cleaning and conservatory roof cleaning.

What we do

Attic and mould work is our speciality, but we look after the whole house, from the roof space down to the gutters.

How it works

Dublin 4 and 6 questions

Do you work on period and protected houses?

We work in older houses across Dublin 4 and 6. If your home is a protected structure, let us know when you get in touch so the work can be planned with that in mind.

Do you also do flats and apartments in converted houses?

Yes. Many red-brick houses in Rathmines and Ranelagh are divided into flats, and mould on walls and ceilings is a common problem in them. Landlords and tenants are both welcome to contact us.

How much does the work cost?

Every period house is different, so the price depends on access, size and what needs to be done. Get in touch for a free quote.
