Condensation and mould fixes for Workington homes
A typical family puts several litres of water into the air every day. 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.
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.

Questions from Workington
Do you cover Workington and nearby?
Yes. We cover Workington and nearby places including Whitehaven. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
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.
Will a dehumidifier fix condensation?
A dehumidifier helps in one room but treats the symptom. Fixing the extract in the wet rooms, and adding whole-home ventilation where needed, removes moisture before it spreads.
