About Mould & Mend
Mould & Mend is an independent UK website about condensation, damp and mould in the home. It explains the causes in plain English, links each step to published guidance, and says clearly when a job needs a professional.
Who is behind it
Mould & Mend is run by Mao and Sai, who write under those names. Guides carry the name of the person who wrote and published them. A guide only says it has been reviewed when one of us has separately read it against its sources; we do not add a reviewer’s name otherwise. We are not surveyors or tradespeople, and we do not claim experience we do not have: the guides rest on the published UK guidance they link to.
How we work
Our guides are based on sources such as GOV.UK, the Health and Safety Executive, Historic England and the Energy Saving Trust, and every guide links to the sources it uses. We use AI tools to help with research and drafting, and we check the facts against those sources before a page is published.
Diagrams and illustrations are there to explain an idea and are labelled as illustrations. We only describe an image as a photo of a real damp problem, test or repair when that is what it is. Read our editorial policy for the details.
How we are funded
Mould & Mend is a business. We plan to fund it through advertising, affiliate links and our own shop selling products that are relevant to moisture problems in the home.
- Adverts will be labelled as adverts.
- Affiliate links, which earn us a commission if you buy, will be labelled where they appear.
- Products we sell ourselves will be clearly marked as ours.
Money never changes our safety advice or when we tell you to call a professional.
What we are not
Mould & Mend is not a surveying or damp-proofing company, and we do not offer surveys or treatments. Our guides are general information, not an assessment of your home.
