Condensation is a common problem in homes which can cause mould, damage to property and may even affect your health.

Condensation is caused by warm moist air coming into contact with cool surfaces like walls or windows. Cooking, taking baths and showers & drying clothes indoors all add to the moisture in the air which can lead to condensation and mould however there are easy tips which can be followed to help avoid the problem.

Our top tips:

• Ventilate your home daily to remove moisture by opening windows.
• Dry washing outside if possible

• Keep your home warm
