How we do it
If extract fans are weak, ducted into the loft or switched off, and windows stay shut in winter, that moisture settles on the coldest surfaces: window reveals, external corners, behind wardrobes and on bathroom ceilings. Mould needs that damp surface to grow. Ventilation is usually the biggest part of the cure, but not the only part.
Whole-home ventilation
PIV, continuous extract or MVHR where moisture is spread through the house.
Mould treatment advice
How to clean and treat affected areas once the cause is fixed.
Survey and findings
Humidity and surface readings, existing fans flow-tested, and a written list of causes and fixes.
