CONDENSATION is what happens when the damp stale air in your home cannot escape. It causes water droplets to form on cold surfaces which creates the ideal conditions for mites and BLACK MOULD to thrive.
We offer a personalised service for your property with a visit & report by a fully trained damp surveyor. We provide tailored solutions to fit your needs and budget.
There is always some moisture in the air, even if you cannot see it. When the air gets colder, it cannot hold all the moisture and drops of water appear. EG. when the cold mirror steams up in the bathroom. THIS IS CONDENSATION and it creates the perfect conditions for the bacteria that is known as BLACK MOULD.
This damp air does not stay in your bathroom or kitchen - it circulates all over your home. If this damp stale air cannot escape your property, it condenses on the coldest surfaces and encourages mould growth in places where there is little air movement: in corners, on or near windows, in or behind cupboards and often forms on north-facing walls.
Mould can appear in any room in your home where conditions are right.
This mould can damage wall paints/wallpapers and furniture and make window frames rot and can increase the risk of respiratory illnesses in some people.
Mould can be removed using fungicidal wash and kept at bay using fugicidal paint or wallpaper pastes when re-decorating.
However, the mould will return if the problem of the trapped damp air in your property is not rectified. We can help with advice and remedial solutions to rid your house of damp air and associated mould growth.
