In Oldbury homes, black mould usually comes down to the same few causes: weak fans, loft-vented ducts and no background ventilation.
Whether the property is in the middle of Oldbury or one of the villages around it, the process is the same: a look at the building, a written price, then fitting and testing on the agreed day.

How we approach condensation and mould fixes in Oldbury
A typical family puts several litres of water into the air every day. 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.
Survey and findings
Humidity and surface readings, existing fans flow-tested, and a written list of causes and fixes.
Fan upgrades
Weak or loft-vented fans replaced and ducted outside, with humidity control.

Yes. We cover Oldbury and nearby places including West Bromwich, Smethwick, Dudley and Tipton. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
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.
Is black mould dangerous?
Damp and mould can affect health, particularly for people with asthma, allergies, weak immune systems, children and older people, according to NHS and government guidance. It should be dealt with rather than lived with.
