Mould Prevention & Maintenance in Larnaca

Who in Larnaca uses a maintenance plan

Larnaca is the island's main point of arrival, and many homes here work around that: flats let to visitors through the summer, apartments owned by people who live abroad and fly in a few times a year, and long-term rentals that change hands between tenants. Add the ground-floor houses where damp has been dealt with once but the ground stays wet, and a fair number of Larnaca homes need someone to keep an eye on them rather than a single fix.

• Owners of holiday flats who need each new guest to walk into a fresh-smelling, clean apartment. See how mould affects holiday-let income.
• Overseas owners whose flats stand closed for months, often along the seafront where the air is at its dampest.
• Landlords who want problems spotted between tenancies rather than reported at the end of one.
• Households with winter condensation that returns to the same bedroom or bathroom each year.

What happens on a monthly visit

The point of a visit is to keep humidity down and catch regrowth early. Each one includes a humidity and air check and an early-warning scan for the first signs of mould, so small changes are caught while they are still small. If a cleared wall starts to show spots again, it is caught before it spreads. Between visits, priority callouts mean you can ask us to look sooner if something appears. A dehumidifier can help in a closed flat, but only if someone empties and checks it; our article on what dehumidifiers can and cannot do sets out the limits.

The two plans

Home Protect, from €45 a month, gives one preventive visit per month with the humidity and air check, the early-warning scan and priority callouts between visits. It covers one property and you can cancel anytime. Plus, from €79 a month, doubles that to two visits a month, adds priority same-day callouts and includes a quarterly full written report, which is useful for owners who want a record of the property's condition between lets or tenancies.

Starting a plan

Most people join after mould has been cleared, so the work they have paid for stays done. If you have not had the cause looked at yet, start there: we find the cause before we touch the mould, so the fix lasts, and the plan then keeps it that way.
