How to Prevent Mould and Dampness in Your Home

One of the most reoccuring issues we see in our properties is mould and dampness, and this usually occurs in bathrooms.

The cause of mould and dampness is condensation and there are four reasons why condensation occurs:
1) There is alot of moisture,
2) There is not enough ventilation,
3) There is not enough insulation,
4) There is not enough heating.

In which case, to make sure that your home is not plagued by condensation you can do the following:
- keep rooms ventilated frequently, by opening windows or switching on extractor fans,
- make sure the rooms are heated frequently,
- dry laundry outside or in a ventilated room,
- cover cooking pans to keep moisture levels down.
