Jordan McCraeAt one point in our lives, my partner and I thought a bottle of bleach, an online tutorial, and a pair of rubber gloves could remove mould. But, like a bad sequel, the mould came back—bigger, darker, and definitely not impressed by our DIY efforts.
After one too many DIY fails, we gave up and realised we really have no choice but to call in the pros. That kicked off our search for Auckland’s best mould removal companies—people who can actually fix the problem for good.
If you’re tired of battling stubborn mould patches on your own, here’s what we’ve learned, who you can trust, and everything you need to know before you book.
How much does it cost to get rid of mould in Auckland?
It costs at least $500 to get rid of a small mould infestation in Auckland. This price is just an estimate. The actual price will depend on the severity, the type of mould, and the treatments.
1. iDry Flood Restoration Auckland
Address: 8/251 Lincoln Road, Henderson
Contact Details: +64 9 869 7385
Operating Hours: Open 24 hours
If you need mould gone fast—especially after leaks or flooding—we think iDry Flood Restoration Auckland is an excellent choice. They do a thorough, professional job and give the peace of mind that the mould won’t return.
What really sets iDry apart is their focus on fixing the root cause. We like that they work directly with plumbers and builders to address underlying issues, not just mask the problem.
Customers shared that iDry arrived within an hour, and the musty smell was gone for good. That kind of rapid response is a huge advantage. They even provide 24/7 emergency service, which can be very helpful to many homeowners.
We also appreciate their use of containment and air filtration systems to keep your
space safe and prevent mould from spreading.
The only thing is, the process can be somewhat disruptive, especially if large areas of carpet or drywall need to be removed. Several homeowners told us that having a portion of their homes blocked off for a day wasn’t ideal.
Cleaned up the mould really well
“Very good work. Cleaned up the mould really well. On time. Very professional.”

They are now like brand new!!
“ My rollar blinds had a lot of mould on them, which I tried to remove myself unsuccessfully. I called the place I bought them from & they recommended pro-cleaning, which worked out to be about 1/3 of the original cost. I was concerned they would not be able to remove the mould, however they are now like brand new!! I received a quote back within 1 day via their text service (which is excellent) & then an invoice slightly higher as I got the measurements slightly wrong. They were cleaned within 3 days as indicated. Overall, very happy with the result.”

2. CSS – Contaminated Site Solutions Limited
Address: 2/152 Lansford Crescent, Avondale
Contact Details: +64 9 828 1731
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday – 8:30 AM to 5 PM
For those wanting a professional, step-by-step approach to mould removal, CSS – Contaminated Site Solutions Limited is a strong option. Their thorough site visits are very much appreciated by homeowners who value transparency and safety.
We really love that they provide a detailed report and clear recommendations within hours of their site visit before any work starts. This gives customers a clear picture of what to expect and how much the service will cost.
However, a few people complained that the staff can sometimes come off a bit stiff and not very friendly. While it’s not a deal-breaker, we think it wouldn’t hurt to be a little less formal in their interactions.
That aside, CSS takes safety seriously. We like that they use zip walls and Air Scrubber systems to ensure mould spores don’t spread and your household remains protected.
Homeowners were relieved to see how careful they were with their homes—no mess, no lingering odours, and they finished right on schedule.
I would have zero hesitation recommending them
“I have used this company twice and both times have found them to be INCREDIBLY professional, helpful, prompt and communicative. I would have zero hesitation recommending them to anybody requiring similar services and if I ever need to get similar work done again they will be at the top of my list of people to call.”

3. CleaningPro Auckland
Address: 180 Fred Taylor Drive, Whenuapai
Contact Details: +64 800 405 670
Operating Hours: Open 24 hours
If you’re looking for a mould removal service that responds quickly and handles everything, CleaningPro Auckland is a fantastic choice.
Their 24/7 emergency response is a major advantage, especially when you’re dealing with black mould and need urgent help. And the emergency response isn’t just some marketing scheme either, since customers told us they arrived quickly after the call.
It’s also impressive how they go beyond mould removal. They also rinse, purify, and deodorise affected items, including furniture and clothing.
Their use of specialised air filtration equipment helps keep your home safe and reduces the risk of mould returning. Plus, they do an excellent job of making sure everything is left looking brand new.
One thing to note, though: there is a $300 cancellation fee if you need to change your appointment with less than 24 hours’ notice. Customers who had to reschedule at the last minute told us they were surprised by the cancellation fee.
The cleaning job was brilliant
“CleaningPro were so great to deal with.Pricing was sharp and competitive. Communication and response times were fast. The cleaning job was brilliant. They’re definitely PROS! Thanks guys, will definitely recommend and use you next time.”
–Christian Horniman, Google Reviews
Efficient turnaround
“Very good service with an efficient turnaround. The online booking is simple and I received follow up calls and messages to confirm the appointment and also messages to confirm when the technicians were on their way. The team had everything they needed with them and were tidy workers. Would recommend and use for other cleaning services in the future.”

4. r
Address: 32E Poland Road, Wairau Valley
Contact Details: +64 800 332 664
Operating Hours: Open 24 hours
RESTATE® is a great pick if you want in-depth analysis, fair pricing, and a team that can handle everything from inspection to full restoration. We love their meticulous, tech-savvy approach to mould inspection and removal.
Their inspections are among the most detailed we’ve seen. They use tools like moisture meters, particle counters, and even thermal and borescope cameras to pinpoint mould and moisture issues quickly.
Customers we talked to also praised their inspection reports. Many shared that the photos in the report were incredibly clear and that the team found hidden mould they never would have noticed.
Plus, if mould has caused serious damage, they don’t just stop at remediation. They can handle repairs and rebuilding too, making it a truly comprehensive service.
Because their inspections are so thorough, the process can take longer than a basic check-up. That can be quite frustrating for busy homeowners who can’t afford to host technicians at their home for a long time.
Time aside, we appreciate RESTATE®’s price beat guarantee—if you find a lower quote for the same service, they’ll beat it by 10%.
Can not recommend this company enough
“I can not recommend this company enough. I had problem with mould making me sick in my flat. It took 5 days from point of contact to job completion. I had a visit from Leon who told me what the issues were, what needed to be done & quoted. He recommended getting the carpets cleaned also. 2 days later their technician came and job was carried out. I couldn’t believe it when I got home from work. The ceiling looked like it had just been freshly painted and the carpets looked like new and smelt clean. My health has returned to normal almost over night from not having to breath in the spores. It was also half the price I expected it to be. 6 stars absolutely brilliant!”
–Ugly54A, Google Reviews
Thrilled with the awesome job done
“Thrilled with the awesome job done by Morgan and Renato removing mildew/mould from my garage ceiling and garage door. It looked brand new again. Have never had my house fogged before but was very happy with the process to kill any remaining mould spores. Can highly recommend the process and Kaye was amazing at explaining everything and organising the treatment in a friendly and very professional manner, going to extra lengths to ensure I was happy with the end job. THANKS TEAM, won’t hesitate to use your services again and will confidently recommend to friends and family too.”

5. Pure Services Auckland
Address: 7E Andromeda Crescent, East Tāmaki
Operating Hours: Open 24 hours
Pure Services is a solid pick if you need a careful, tech-savvy way to handle mould removal, and if you like having everything documented for your records.
They start with thorough inspections, checking every nook and cranny to make sure nothing gets overlooked. After that, they provide easy-to-read reports that many homeowners greatly appreciate.
It’s also great that they use modern removal methods, like HEPA vacuuming and antimicrobial treatments that target mould right where it lives.
We also like that they go beyond cleaning what’s obvious. They check for moisture and hidden mould in places like walls, ceilings, and under flooring that you might not notice.
Homeowners also value their tips on how to ventilate areas that hold moisture and how to seal places where water could get in.
The one downside some people mentioned was their timing. A few customers noted that the team didn’t always show up at the scheduled time, which messed with their plans.
Impressed with the outcome
“Impressed with the outcome of the mould remediation service. Demonstrated a genuine caring culture over the phone and in person. Delivered the results with expertise, health & safety measures, good housekeeping & effective communication. I highly recommend Pure Services.”
–Amy Chieng, Google Reviews
