Building Forensics Ltd. - Beckenham

I highly recommend Building Forensics and Jeff Charlton, the Head of Indoor Air Health Environmental Specialist. With years of experience, Jeff provided a thorough and insightful analysis of my living environment. He collected samples and sent them to internationally recognized labs, producing an in-depth report that was eye-opening. I hadn’t realized how many bacteria and moulds produce toxins that I had been inhaling. Jeff has helped me understand the issues surrounding water-damaged buildings and their effects on health. His expertise has brought me peace of mind, knowing the problems I’ve faced are backed by scientific evidence. Jeff is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a really decent, trustworthy, and caring person who truly listens, gets the evidence, and understands the issues. Thanks to his guidance, I’m finally seeing improvements in my health. Without his expertise, I would still be living in an environment full of biotoxins and pathogens. His support after the report was invaluable, and his swift attention to the situation was exceptional. My health is priceless, and the value of his work far exceeds the cost. I highly recommend Building Forensics. I'm forever grateful for the insightful report and ongoing support.

Company Head Jeff visited our home in October 2023 to assess and test our home for ongoing and developing mold issues then to advise and recommend solutions.

We both have long term health issues, our concern being that the mold is impacting and worsening our respective health. Ultimately is our house safe to live in, should we move, and can we resolve the problems to make our house safe for the long term.
Having researched to find professional help here in the U.K. Building Forensics seemed the best fit for our needs.
It was apparent that Jeff has the depth of knowledge and true understanding that comes from years of experience. The starting point being our circumstances and needs, followed by a house examination and testing both inside and out and finally a concluding explanation of what he found.
This was followed up by an extensive report with lab results and recommendations on how to resolve the issues.
I found Jeff to be a true professional, to the point, thorough and with a humane understanding of the impact mold is having on our home and our health.
The result of using Jeff and his company is we now have the information to resolve the issues and best of all that we don’t need to move. I could not recommend Jeff and his company more highly.

jeff also took the time to talk to my loss assessors which was a big bonus.
his report goes into much detail, over 100 pages and everything is tested properly
he has been very responsive on email and this expertise and help has been extremely helpful dealing with my insurance company.

Jeff inspected a property for me a few years ago and gave a comprehensive report on mould and other toxic issues. He has very detailed knowledge in this area which is very difficult to find in this country. Recently i have been getting advice from him on another property which has water damage. Jeff has dealt with all my questions and queries very promptly and his advice has been invaluable. I would recommend Jeff and Building Forensics to anyone dealing with mould issues especially anyone who is immune compromised.

Very helpful and knowledgeable, you feel like you are in very competent and safe hands. I am a Nutritional Therapist and had another (very well-known) company come to do remediation after water damage, and all they looked for and remediated for was mould- not only do I still have mould, but they didn't pick up/ test for a whole series of toxic bacteria I have from historical water damamge and AC units. Building Froensics are very thorough in their testing and really explain to you what not to do and how to keep yourself safe. I am really grateful for this excellent service and highly recommend them.

Jeff came to help us find the source of our mould problem after 2 years of suffering with chronic lung issues at the hands of mould related illness. His knowledge is absolutely astounding and he really cares about helping people too. The survey report we had was super detailed and prompt. I can't recommend this company, and Jeff himself highly enough.

After a lifetime of health problems, and more recently acute health issues including IBS, a kidney infection, and a bipolar diagnosis, I sought care through a functional medicine physician. She determined that I had mycotoxin (mould) poisoning and instructed me to carry out mould testing of our new home. Not surprisingly this illness and corresponding field of doctors, environmental consultants, and remediation companies is in its infancy. There are few if any companies in the UK that truly understand how to properly handle mould in the home. After extensive research I came upon Jeff Charlton’s background and business and immediately got it touch. He’s renowned in the US amongst the top mould specialist, and is a national treasure here in the UK. If you’re lucky enough to get him to come to your home you will be certain to get the clearest picture of what’s exactly going on and how you can fix it. He is an endless wealth of knowledge when it comes to combating mould in the home. What’s more, he’s not alarmist like many other professionals in the industry, which is reassuring and greatly appreciated when one is dealing with sick building syndrome. He also offers loads of additional support and guidance, which easily justifies his fee. I began working with him this year and plan to continue to utilize his services until our home is remediated and my mould levels are under control.
