LONDON, UK. February 19th, 2026 – Jeff Charlton, widely recognised as the UK’s leading authority on mould, has launched a new website, Talking Mould, designed to serve as the central hub for information, guidance, and discussion on mould-related issues. The launch comes at a time of growing public and professional concern about mould risks in homes and workplaces.
Talking Mould brings together over four decades of real-world experience from Jeff Charlton, whose investigative work and technical publications have shaped industry standards and informed policy across the UK. The new platform aims to provide accessible, credible resources for professionals, homeowners, and anyone seeking reliable information about mould.
The website features the Knowledge Centre, a curated collection of books, guidance documents, and technical publications authored by Charlton. This resource is intended to help users understand the complexities of mould, from identification and risk assessment to remediation and prevention. The Knowledge Centre is regularly updated to reflect the latest research and best practices.
A key innovation is the integration of JeffCharlton.ai, a specialist knowledge system built from decades of investigative experience and a comprehensive archive of peer-reviewed research. This tool enables users to access expert insights and technical material, supporting informed decision-making and early risk identification.
In addition to its educational resources, Talking Mould has launched a new Facebook discussion group, open to all, to facilitate conversation and peer support around mould-related issues. The group is intended to foster a collaborative environment where members can share experiences, ask questions, and access expert advice.
As part of the platform’s launch, Charlton has also confirmed the imminent arrival of a new medical diagnosis tool. This tool is designed to guide individuals in finding answers to health concerns potentially linked to mould exposure, reflecting the increasing demand for accessible, evidence-based support.
Jeff Charlton commented: “I want people to ask better questions, understand risk earlier, and make more informed decisions. Talking Mould is about empowering individuals and professionals with the knowledge they need to protect their health and property.”
The launch of Talking Mould is timely, given heightened awareness of mould-related risks in the UK. Recent studies and media coverage have highlighted the impact of mould on health, particularly in vulnerable populations and poorly ventilated environments. Charlton’s initiative addresses a clear need for authoritative, practical guidance and community support.
Charlton added: “Talking Mould is committed to providing credible, up-to-date information and fostering open discussion. Our goal is to help people navigate the challenges of mould with confidence and clarity.”
Looking ahead, Talking Mould will continue to expand its resources and community engagement, with further tools and publications planned for release. The platform is positioned to become the definitive source for mould knowledge in the UK, supporting both public awareness and professional practice.
With 40 years of international experience in environmental health, Jeff Charlton has played a pivotal role in advancing the understanding and safe resolution of complex contamination and health risks in buildings.
