Condensation control services in Ascot

Condensation is a common problem in homes throughout the UK, including Ascot. It is caused by high humidity levels and poor ventilation, which causes damp air to become trapped inside your home. While homes are commonly designed to breathe naturally, allowing stale air out and fresh air in, there are lots of reasons that these methods might fail over time. In older homes, attempts to insulate can also damage natural ventilation methods.

If your home cannot breathe, then damp air will build up inside, until the air reaches saturation point. This will cause droplets of moisture to gather on surfaces like windows and exterior facing walls. Where there is moisture, mould and mildew will often follow, which can quickly become a health hazard for residents, particularly those with underlying health issues. Left untreated, condensation can cause damage to furniture, decor and even your possessions. It will also make your home feel colder and difficult to keep warm and comfortable.

Common signs you have a condensation problem

A condensation can be difficult to diagnose, particularly if you have become accustomed to high humidity levels in your home. Here are some of the telltale signs that something is amiss.

  • Water droplets on your windows and walls that feel damp to touch
  • Mould and mildew patches around your home
  • Higher energy bills coupled with a decrease in comfort levels
  • Peeling wallpaper and bubbling paintwork

These signs are often much worse and obvious during the winter months, as this is when you’ll spend more time indoors and avoid opening windows.

We can help tackle your condensation problem in Ascot

Before we can tackle a condensation problem, we need to confirm that we aren’t dealing with anything more severe. A home survey helps us to rule out more serious issues like a rising damp problem. We can then look at ways to improve the ventilation in your home, which could include structural changes. We might look at improving natural ventilation with permeable plaster and rendering, or restoring ventilation bricks or trickle vents.

There are often changes you can make to the way you use your house that will be very effective. Making use of exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens is a great way to prevent excess moisture build up. We also recommend avoiding drying laundry indoors, as this can drive up humidity levels. Improving ventilation by simply opening windows more often, using dehumidifier units and adding moisture traps to hard to reach areas will all help to address your condensation problem. It’s often a combination of steps that will help us to tackle a condensation problem and restore your home.
