What the work involves
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.
Fan upgrades
Weak or loft-vented fans replaced and ducted outside, with humidity control.
Whole-home ventilation
PIV, continuous extract or MVHR where moisture is spread through the house.

Questions from Canterbury
How do I get a price for a condensation fix in Canterbury?
Use the guide price tool, the form on this page, live chat, WhatsApp or call 0800 088 6341. A postcode and a couple of photos help us give you a useful answer first time.
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.
