Action Dry Emergency Services Ltd

Winning the Excellence in Mould Remediation Award 2026 from Environmental Business Review Europe marks a significant milestone for Action Dry Emergency Services Ltd. But for the company, recognition is simply the by-product of delivering technically robust remediation solutions with consistency, accountability and measurable results.

As mould contamination concerns grow across residential, commercial, education and public-sector properties, Action Dry stands apart as an established and trusted specialist. In a sector increasingly populated by superficial “spray-and-go” services and marketing-led operators, Action Dry has earned its reputation through decades of hands-on experience, technical competence and measurable outcomes, combining scientific methodology, evidence-based remediation strategies and advanced environmental testing with practical large-scale delivery expertise.

For construction professionals, facilities managers, housing providers, insurers and property owners, the challenge surrounding mould is no longer simply cosmetic. The health implications associated with prolonged fungal contamination have elevated mould remediation from a maintenance issue to a serious environmental and compliance priority, rapidly gaining media and government attention.

A Reputation Built on Science

Action Dry utilises a structured remediation process rooted in moisture diagnostics, property drying, contamination assessment, source identification and post-remediation verification. Every project begins with understanding why mould growth occurred, not simply removing the symptoms.

“Successful mould remediation starts with science,” explains Alex Habbershaw, the Action Dry mould remediation supervisor. “If the moisture source, contamination pathways and environmental conditions are not properly identified and addressed, mould will almost certainly return. Clients today require evidence, accountability and measurable outcomes, not cosmetic short-term fixes.”

The company’s “Breathsafe Certification” process provides added reassurance for building owners, facilities managers and occupants through documented environmental testing and verification procedures.

This methodology has made Action Dry a trusted remediation partner across sectors, including student accommodation, healthcare environments, social housing, commercial property, hospitality and insurance-led restoration projects. The company’s specialist services include:

• Advanced and verified mould remediation
• Moisture investigation and diagnostics
• HEPA / ULPA contamination cleaning
• Containment and negative air pressure systems
• Environmental and air-quality testing
• Surface and airborne mould species analysis
• Mouldscope Real Time air quality assessments
• Surface and airborne mycotoxin evaluation and analysis

Supporting Compliance and Reducing Long Term Risk

Action Dry’s work extends beyond remediation. It supports construction and facilities professionals with evidence-led reporting and environmental testing data that assists with compliance, contractor validation, occupant reassurance and building condition assessment. As awareness surrounding indoor environmental quality grows, clients seek demonstrable proof that buildings are healthy and that remediation works have been carried out correctly. Through advanced testing and verification procedures, Action Dry provides clear environmental data that supports informed decision making and long-term risk reduction.

The company’s investment in specialised equipment, technician training and modern remediation standards has helped establish its reputation for handling complex and sensitive environments where occupant safety and business continuity are critical.

For construction and facilities professionals, that expertise is becoming increasingly important. Water ingress incidents, hidden moisture problems and poor ventilation can quickly escalate into major operational and reputational issues if not addressed correctly. Action Dry’s ability to respond rapidly, identify root causes and implement controlled remediation programmes has made the business a valuable resource for organisations seeking long-term solutions rather than temporary fixes.

Action Dry believes the wider industry is only just beginning to understand the importance of properly managed indoor environmental conditions.

Mould remediation done incorrectly can spread contamination, worsen indoor environmental conditions and expose building owners to ongoing health, compliance and liability risks. Clients want remediation partners who reliably demonstrate competence, evidence and measurable outcomes.

For Action Dry Emergency Services Ltd., that evolution is exactly where the business intends to remain: at the forefront of science-led mould remediation and indoor environmental recovery.
