What the work involves
Ventilation is usually the biggest part of the cure, but not the only part. 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.
Survey and findings
Humidity and surface readings, existing fans flow-tested, and a written list of causes and fixes.

Questions about condensation and mould ventilation fixes in Glasgow
Which towns in Glasgow do you cover?
All of Glasgow, including Glasgow. If your town is not listed, send the postcode and we will confirm.
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.
Are prices different in Glasgow?
Our guide prices are adjusted by region. In Glasgow we use Scotland rates, so new ducted fan to outside through the loft or ceiling (insulated duct, roof or soffit outlet) is typically £425 to £725 inc VAT per fan.
