Condensation and mould can be a problem during the colder months of the year. To help you to minimise condensation and mould in your home this winter take a look at the tips below:
Dry your washing outside when you can; if you have to dry your washing inside use a clothes airer and keep the door closed and window open.
Make sure rooms are always well ventilated – keep vents on UPVC windows open. Or open your windows briefly each day.
Always use extractor fans in the bathroom and kitchen when bathing or cooking.
Ensure your home is at a constant warm temperature.
If you notice dark or discoloured areas on the walls or ceiling in your home which have a 'tide mark', this could be a sign of damp which will require further investigation.
