What condensation and mould ventilation fixes 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. 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.
