How we do it

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. Ventilation is usually the biggest part of the cure, but not the only part.

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.

Survey and findings

Humidity and surface readings, existing fans flow-tested, and a written list of causes and fixes.

Questions about condensation and mould ventilation fixes in Lanarkshire

Is the survey free in Lanarkshire?

For new installations on the UK mainland, yes. The survey is free and the quote that follows is fixed and in writing. Servicing, testing and repair visits are charged, and we confirm the cost before booking.

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.
