Why are damp and mould problematic?

We’re not suggesting that a small amount of condensation is cause for alarm – in fact you’ll find condensation in most homes, especially on bedroom windows on winter mornings. But if the moisture levels build up in your home, mould may develop.

The warning signs of excess moisture are easy to spot. You may see unsightly black mould growing on your walls, window frames or tile grouting, and perhaps in corners of rooms or behind large items of furniture too. Your wallpaper may be starting to peel off and your clothes, curtains, bedding, carpets and towels may smell a little musty.

If areas of damp and mould are left untreated, they will probably spread – and may cause health problems
