How we approach condensation and mould fixes in Dorchester
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 Dorchester
What is the price of a condensation fix in Dorchester?
Guide prices for Dorchester use South West rates: new ducted fan to outside through the loft or ceiling (insulated duct, roof or soffit outlet) is typically £465 to £775 inc VAT per fan. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Can you tell if it is rising damp?
We can tell you when the pattern does not look like condensation, such as a tide mark low on a wall or damp that appears after rain, and point you to the right specialist.
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.
Is the survey free in Dorchester?
