How we approach condensation and mould fixes in Barking
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.
Survey and findings
Humidity and surface readings, existing fans flow-tested, and a written list of causes and fixes.
Fan upgrades
Weak or loft-vented fans replaced and ducted outside, with humidity control.
