Frequently asked questions
Is winter mould just condensation?
Often it is: black mould on cold walls, window frames and behind furniture usually comes from moisture in the air settling on cold surfaces. Ventilating while cooking and drying clothes, and keeping rooms evenly warm, helps. Damp that spreads in a tide line from the floor, or a patch that stays wet in dry weather, points to a leak or rising damp and needs a survey.
Is it condensation or damp?
Condensation shows as black mould in corners, behind furniture and on cold walls, worst in winter, and comes from moisture inside the house. Penetrating damp follows rain and shows as patches that grow after wet weather. Rising damp is rare and shows as a tide mark low on ground floor walls.
Do I need a damp survey?
For anything beyond obvious condensation, yes, and it should be independent of the treatment. Some businesses survey free and then sell the treatment, which is a conflict. A written report with moisture readings and photos is what you want.
How do I stop mould coming back?
Mould grows where there is moisture and little air. Fix the source, improve ventilation with extractor fans that actually run, keep some heat in cold rooms, and clean the mould off properly rather than painting over it.
