How we approach condensation and mould fixes in Middleton
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. Mould needs that damp surface to grow.
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 Middleton
Do you cover Middleton and nearby?
Yes. We cover Middleton and nearby places including Blackley, Chadderton, Crumpsall and Heywood. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
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.
What is the price of a condensation fix in Middleton?
Guide prices for Middleton use North West rates: new ducted fan to outside through the loft or ceiling (insulated duct, roof or soffit outlet) is typically £425 to £700 inc VAT per fan. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
