Condensation
Most Common Cause of Damp in UK Homes
Condensation affects millions of properties across the UK. It’s the number one cause of black mould, musty smells, wet windows, and damp patches.
Why Condensation Happens
Warm air holds moisture. When that warm, moist air hits a cold surface (like a chilly outside wall or a bedroom window), it dumps that moisture as water droplets. This is why you see:
- Water on windows in the morning
- Damp patches in cold corners
- Mould behind furniture
- Peeling paint and wallpaper
- That familiar “wet dog” smell
Daily life creates far more moisture than most people realise cooking, showers, drying clothes indoors, even just breathing.
Modern homes don’t help: Double glazing, insulation and sealed-up chimneys all trap that moisture inside.
APPROACH
How To Fix Condensation For Good
Why Condensation is a Problem
Left alone, it leads to:
- Black mould
- Damage to plaster and paint
- Damp, cold rooms
- Dust mites
- Health risks
- Poor indoor air quality
It’s not just uncomfortable — it’s unhealthy. The good news? It’s usually one of the easiest problems to fix — once you understand why it’s happening.
DIY FIXES
Why DIY Fixes Usually Don’t Work
If the moisture isn’t being removed from the home, the problem will always return
- Opening windows wastes heat.
- Dehumidifiers only help one room.
- Paint doesn’t fix damp.
- Bleach only hides mould.
With the right ventilation strategy, condensation can’t survive.
Our goal is simple: A warm, dry, healthy home with fresh air — every day of the year.
