Condensation

We sometimes have phone calls from clients / tenants advising us that there is condensation in the property. However over the years when we have investigated this we have usually found it is called by the following problems.

What does condensation look like?

This is where pools of water occurs on the surface of a wall, windows, sills etc. and also at lower levels particularly on ground floors.

1. You guessed it - not opening the windows and airing the property on a regular basis, for example, airing the property every morning. 

2. Not using extract fans in kitchens and bathrooms and/or opening windows and humidity being created.

3. Practices carried out that cause humidity such as drying washing inside. We appreciate this can be difficult not to particularly in winter or rainy weather.

4. Use extract fans to reduce humidity.
