How we approach condensation and mould fixes in Chard
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.

Questions from Chard
Do you cover Chard and nearby?
Yes. We cover Chard and nearby places including Honiton, Taunton, Bridport and Yeovil. 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 Chard?
Guide prices for Chard use South West rates: new ducted fan to outside through the loft or ceiling (insulated duct, roof or soffit outlet) is typically £465 to £775 inc VAT per fan. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
