What condensation and mould ventilation fixes involves

Ventilation is usually the biggest part of the cure, but not the only part. Heating patterns, insulation gaps and cold bridges matter too, and some damp is not condensation at all: leaks, penetrating damp and rising damp need different trades. We tell you if that is what we find rather than selling a fan that will not help.

For most existing homes with general condensation, PIV plus good extract fans is the most cost-effective fix. MVHR suits airtight, well-insulated homes and full renovations.
