How we approach condensation and mould fixes in Spennymoor
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.
Fan upgrades
Weak or loft-vented fans replaced and ducted outside, with humidity control.
Whole-home ventilation
PIV, continuous extract or MVHR where moisture is spread through the house.

What is the main cause of condensation in a house?
The main cause is moisture from everyday living, such as showers, cooking and drying clothes, that is not being extracted, combined with cold surfaces where it condenses. Poor or failed extract fans are a very common cause.
