In Leigh homes, black mould usually comes down to the same few causes: weak fans, loft-vented ducts and no background ventilation.
Whether the property is in the middle of Leigh or one of the villages around it, the process is the same: a look at the building, a written price, then fitting and testing on the agreed day.

Condensation and mould fixes for Leigh homes
A typical family puts several litres of water into the air every day. If extract fans are weak, ducted into the loft or switched off, and windows stay shut in winter, that moisture settles on the coldest surfaces: window reveals, external corners, behind wardrobes and on bathroom ceilings.
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.
