DAMP & MOULD SPECIALIST · LONDON
Condensation &
ventilation checks.
Windows that stay wet, mould in corners and damp behind furniture can point to a condensation problem. We assess how moisture and air move through the property and check where ventilation may be falling short.
UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM
When moisture
has nowhere to go.
Cooking, bathing and drying laundry all add moisture to indoor air. When that air meets a cold surface, condensation can form. Repeated wetting can leave window surrounds, ceilings and external walls vulnerable to mould.
The assessment considers the room layout, ventilation points, heating patterns and where condensation appears. We explain which changes address the wet surfaces and ventilation arrangement in each affected room.
Note when windows become wet, which rooms are occupied and whether the problem changes when doors are closed. A running fan does not, by itself, show that moisture is leaving the room effectively. Moisture from cooking and bathing and cold window reveals may need attention together.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
Questions about
this service.
Why is condensation worse in winter?
Window glass and external walls are often colder in winter. Moist indoor air can condense on those surfaces even when the rest of the room feels warm.
Does condensation always mean poor ventilation?
No. Surface temperature, moisture production, heating and ventilation can all contribute. We consider these together.
Can mould behind a wardrobe be linked to condensation?
Yes. Limited air movement next to a cold wall can allow moisture to collect. We also check for other possible causes of damp.
