Mould Remediation Costs in Melbourne
Understanding mould remediation costs in Melbourne helps you make informed decisions during a stressful time. While every situation is unique, the pricing information below gives you a realistic guide to what professional restoration typically costs in the Melbourne area.
As insurance-approved providers, our Melbourne contractors direct-bill your insurer for covered events — meaning you typically pay nothing out of pocket beyond your policy excess. For non-insured work, we provide free, no-obligation quotes before any work begins.
All pricing includes GST, and our contractors do not charge call-out fees for emergency assessments in the Melbourne metropolitan area.
Typical Mould Remediation Price Ranges — Melbourne
The following price ranges represent typical mould remediation costs in Melbourne based on job size:
- Small job (single room / limited area): $1,500 – $4,000
- Medium job (multiple rooms / moderate damage): $4,000 – $12,000
- Large job (entire property / severe damage): $12,000 – $30,000+
These are indicative ranges only. Every property is different, and your actual cost will depend on the specific factors outlined below. Our Melbourne team provides a detailed, written quote after the initial assessment — before any chargeable work begins.
Factors That Affect Your Cost
Several key factors influence the final cost of mould remediation in Melbourne. Understanding these helps you assess quotes and set realistic expectations:
- Total area of mould contamination
- Species of mould (some require specialist protocols)
- Accessibility of affected areas (wall cavities, roof spaces)
- Underlying moisture source identification and repair
- Air quality testing and clearance requirements
Speed of response is often the single biggest factor in total cost. Properties where restoration begins within the first 24 hours typically see 40–60% lower total costs compared to delayed responses, as secondary damage (mould, structural degradation) is prevented.
Insurance Coverage and Direct Billing
Most home and commercial insurance policies in Australia cover mould remediation when caused by sudden, accidental events. Our Melbourne contractors are approved providers for all major insurers, which means:
- No upfront payments — We bill your insurer directly for approved claims.
- Claims management — We handle all documentation, photos, and insurer communication.
- Policy excess only — You typically pay only your policy excess amount.
- Scope agreement — We agree the scope of works with your insurer before starting, so there are no surprise bills.
If you are unsure whether your situation is covered, our team can review your policy details during the initial assessment and advise you before any commitment.
