Understanding Condensation
What Is Condensation?
Condensation happens when warm, moist air touches a cold surface, such as a window, wall or ceiling. The air cools and the moisture turns into water. It is most common in kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms, especially in colder months.
Left alone, it can lead to black mould, stained walls, musty smells and even timber decay.

Opening windows and cutting indoor moisture can help. But ongoing condensation usually points to a deeper problem, such as poor airflow, insulation gaps or weak ventilation. A professional survey finds it. Call 01793 238738 to arrange one.
