What Is Condensation – and Why Is It a Problem?
Condensation happens when warm, moist air hits a cold surface — such as a wall, window or uninsulated ceiling. This is common in bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms, especially in properties with poor ventilation or cold walls.
While it may seem harmless, repeated condensation can lead to:
- Black mould growth
- Musty odours
- Peeling paint or wallpaper
- Damp patches behind wardrobes or sofas
- Poor indoor air quality and health concerns
If you’re constantly wiping down windows or battling mould with bleach, it’s time to fix the root cause.
Whether you’re preparing to sell, renovating an older property or simply want peace of mind about your home’s condition — we’re here to help.
Causes of Condensation
- Poor ventilation (blocked air bricks, no extractor fans)
- Inadequate insulation in walls or ceilings
- Cold, single-glazed windows
- Overheating followed by cooling (temperature swings)
- Daily activities like cooking, washing, drying clothes indoors
