Premises disinfection, mould and odour removal in Riga and the surrounding region — We contact you within 5 minutes of your enquiry.

One-off disinfection

One treatment for one specific problem. In most everyday cases that is enough.

When one treatment is enough

A one-off treatment is the right choice when there is a specific, one-time reason — that is, when something has happened with a beginning and an end, rather than a process that is still running.

  • preparing a flat after the previous occupants;
  • treatment after illness in the household;
  • removing a smell whose source is specific and has been dealt with;
  • treatment after renovation work;
  • mould treatment once the cause of the damp has been dealt with;
  • preparing premises that have stood empty for a long time.

A one-off treatment deals with the symptoms. If the cause is still active, repeating the treatment only postpones the problem.

What is included

Enquiry and clarification

You describe the situation in the form, we get in touch and establish the details.

Inspection

We inspect the property and define the scope of work and the method needed.

Quote

We give you an exact price before the work starts.

Treatment

We carry out the work at the agreed time.

Handover and recommendations

We tell you when the premises can be used and what to do so the problem does not recur.

The price includes the inspection on site, the treatment using the chosen method and our recommendations. Travel costs within Riga are included; outside Riga a surcharge applies depending on the distance.

In practice that means that after the work you have not only treated premises but also a clear idea of when they can be used and what needs doing so you do not have to call us again. If something comes to light during the treatment that could not have been predicted from the description — mould behind a wardrobe that nobody knew about, say — we tell you and agree how to proceed rather than quietly increasing the bill.

What is not included

Knowing the limits matters just as much, because this is where misunderstandings most often arise.

✓ Included

  • Inspection before the work and defining the scope.
  • Preparing surfaces for treatment — degreasing and removing deposits in the affected areas.
  • The treatment itself using the chosen method, with the contact time observed.
  • Airing and telling you when the premises can be used.
  • Written recommendations on dealing with the cause.

✗ Not included

  • Deep cleaning and removal of building waste — that is a cleaning company's job.
  • Plumbing, roof or ventilation repairs.
  • Restoring finishes — painting, tiling, new floor coverings.
  • Removing and disposing of furniture in large quantities.
  • Prolonged drying of the structure, unless separately agreed.

The line is simple: we work on the sanitary condition, not on construction and cleaning. We remove affected material where the treatment is impossible without it — for example, cutting out a soaked section of plasterboard to reach the structure behind it.

How the price is made up

For flats the price is based on the number of rooms, for commercial premises on the floor area. That is a starting price for a typical situation. How far the final figure differs from the starting price comes down to a few specific factors.

1MethodSurface treatment is the cheapest. Fogging and ozone treatment require the space to be vacated and take more time, so they cost more.
2Amount of preparationIf deposits have to be removed or affected material cut out before treatment, the hours go up.
3AccessCluttered walls, fitted cupboards and full rooms mean more time for the same floor area.
4LocationTravel is included within Riga. Outside Riga a surcharge applies depending on the distance.

We can often give an indicative price after a phone conversation, if we know the number of rooms or the floor area, the type of problem and how long it has been going on. The exact price is set by the inspection. We tell you it before the work starts, and we only begin once you have confirmed.

A worked example

A 54 m² two-room flat in Purvciems after tenants, with no mould and no signs of smoking. Contact surface treatment plus ozone treatment is enough there, and the figure stays close to the starting price. The same flat, if it has been smoked in for years, first needs the ceilings and walls degreasing, and that is a different scope of work and a different price.

What to prepare

Part of the work is on your side, and it is the part that affects both the time and the price.

  • Provide access to the premises and one contact person who is reachable during the work.
  • Move furniture away from the walls to be treated, and empty cupboards if we are treating the inside of them.
  • Take out food, animals and houseplants if fogging or ozone treatment is planned.
  • Tell us in advance about surfaces that must not be dampened and about any sensitive equipment.
  • If the work relates to an insurance claim, photograph the situation before we arrive.

The premises have to be aired after treatment. After surface treatment a short airing is usually enough; after fogging or ozone treatment the space has to be left longer — we tell you the exact time on site, because it depends on the volume of the room and the method.

When it is not enough

Honestly about the limits:

  • If the cause remains. Mould with the damp unresolved, or a smell with the source still in place, will come back regardless of how good the treatment was.
  • On properties with constant footfall. In offices, shops and institutions a contact surface stays a contact surface — regular treatment is what makes sense there.
  • If the contamination is deep in the material. Then the material needs removing, not treating again.

The last point is the one people find hardest to accept. Porous materials — mineral wool, the paper facing of plasterboard, the filling of mattresses and soft furniture, carpet underlay — soak up liquid right through their thickness. A disinfectant acts where it reaches, and it reaches the surface and a few millimetres below it. The rest of the material's depth stays untreated, which is why the smell and the fungus come back from there. That is not a question of product quality but of physics.

In those cases we say so straight away rather than selling a treatment we know will not work. If the inspection shows that regular treatment or repair work is needed first, we say that too — even when it means there will be no order.

Frequently asked questions

Is the inspection charged separately?

If we carry out the treatment after the inspection, the inspection fee is credited against the price of the work. If you decide not to go ahead, the inspection is charged separately.

How long does one treatment take?

In a flat usually a few hours including the contact time. Longer on bigger properties — we tell you exactly before the work.

Can you come out and treat the premises in one visit?

In simple cases, yes. If drying or removal of materials is needed, the work happens in several stages.

Not sure which treatment you need?

Describe the situation — we will tell you whether treatment is needed at all, and which one.
