Questions from Balham
What is the price of a condensation fix in Balham?
Guide prices for Balham use London rates: new ducted fan to outside through the loft or ceiling (insulated duct, roof or soffit outlet) is typically £525 to £900 inc VAT per fan. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
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.
