What the work involves
Heating patterns, insulation gaps and cold bridges matter too, and some damp is not condensation at all: leaks, penetrating damp and rising damp need different trades. We tell you if that is what we find rather than selling a fan that will not help.
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 Oakwood
What area around Oakwood do you work in?
All of Derbyshire. Near Oakwood that includes Chaddesden, Derby, Sinfin and Ilkeston.
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.
