Condensation is a common issue in UK homes due to the climate, construction methods, and home habits. Homes are designed to be able to breathe, allowing moist air to escape and fresh air to enter, but these measures can become blocked or overwhelmed. Methods for insulating your home can also restrict ventilation, making it more likely that your home will suffer from condensation.

When moist air becomes trapped in your home, the air eventually reaches saturation point, and moisture will settle on surfaces as small droplets. This is most common on windows and exterior facing walls. This moisture provides the perfect conditions for mould and mildew to thrive. A damp home will also be much more difficult to heat, so you might face rising energy bills coupled with a decline in overall comfort levels.

Common signs you have a condensation problem

It can be difficult to know if you have a condensation problem or if your moisture levels are normal. In general, your condensation problems are likely to become more obvious in winter as this is a time when you’re less likely to have windows open. You should look out for the following signs:

  • Droplets of water on windows and walls
  • Patches of mould and mildew on walls and on window seals
  • Peeling wallpaper and blistered paintwork
  • Higher energy bills and low comfort levels

We can help tackle your condensation problem in Addlestone

Tackling a condensation problem will require us to first rule out something more serious. If there is an underlying moisture ingress problem, then no amount of ventilation is going to help. If there is an issue with your damp proof course, this could be allowing excess moisture into your home. A home survey will help to rule out anything more serious before we move on to prevention methods. This could include things like improving ventilation in your home using ventilation bricks, trickle vents and breathable rendering and membranes. 

In areas of high humidity like the bathroom and kitchen, we recommend using exhaust fans to remove excess moisture from your home. It’s also a good idea to avoid drying clothing indoors where possible, or using a dehumidifier if this is unavoidable. Moisture traps can be added to areas where ventilation is poor. We can also look for ways to improve airflow in your home, including clearing out clutter and moving large items of furniture away from walls. Heating your property evenly will also be an important part of overcoming a condensation problem.
