Condensation in the Home
Fix Condensation in the Home
Condensation occurs when warm air collides with cold surfaces, or when there’s too much humidity in your home.
On average, a family of four produces up to 13 litres of water vapour per day in the ways listed above. It all has to go somewhere and can end up as condensation on the walls and on surfaces around the house – unless the moisture-filled air is expelled from the property.

Rising Damp Problems
Rising Damp.
Are you looking for damp proofing that comes with an expert guarantee? At we solve all types of Rising Damp Problems we provide first-rate complete damp proofing for residential and commercial customers
Modern buildings have some form of barrier installed at the lower level of the wall to prevent water from rising up in this way. It is called a damp proof course (DPC). These can be made of non-absorbant, water-resistant materials such as slate, bitumen and plastic depending on the period the property was built. Sometimes these physical DPCs may fail over time.
Damp Proof Membrane – DPC
Rising Damp Problems
Homes over time can lose the vital protections of a damp proof membrane. These ensure that you have full protection from rising damp, a damp membrane will be placed onto the Damp Proof Course (or DPC). It is normal if the technician when installing the DPM overlaps the damp proof course. The damp proof course is placed within the brickwork to stop any damp rising up from the ground through capillary action.
Specialising in all types of damp problems our service covers fixing black mould, rising damp, condensation in the home, damp proof course and damp proof membrane
It is essential when a floor that is next to the ground is constructed, that a proper damp proof membrane is placed to prevent dam issues. We can fix dampproof membrane problems fast
Passive Air Vents To Solve Damp Problems
Passive Air Vents
Once we install a passive air vent they are maintenance-free, environmentally friendly and will help solve condensation naturally. They work by allowing damp air out of your home and clean dry air back in. This lowers the moisture in the air and reduces condensation.
Expert placement and the correct diagnosies is required before making avoiding expensive mistakes

FAQs Damp in the Home
Damp in your house can result in a lot of issues, some of which pose health risks. Mould growth can result in respiratory allergies. Its important to get the problem sorted by a professional team
Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground travels up through walls due to a failed or absent Damp Proof Course (DPC). Signs include tide marks, peeling paint, and crumbling plaster. We offer DPC injections and replacement services to effectively halt rising damp.
Penetrating damp occurs when water enters through external walls due to damaged gutters, cracked masonry, or failed sealants. Regular maintenance, gutter cleaning, and wall treatments help prevent this. Learn more about our roofing services.
Condensation damp results from excess indoor moisture, especially in poorly ventilated areas. Improving ventilation, using extractor fans, and dehumidifiers can significantly reduce condensation. For guidance, see the Property Care Association.
Signs of a leaking roof include wet patches on ceilings, damp spots on walls, and water stains. Immediate inspection and repair are crucial. See our roofing services for solutions.
Plumbing leaks can cause localized damp spots and water damage. Contact a qualified plumber promptly. See advice from the Property Care Association for prevention tips.
Blocked gutters allow water to overflow and seep into walls and foundations. Regular gutter cleaning and maintenance prevent damp and structural damage.
Signs of a failed DPC include damp patches at floor level, peeling wallpaper, and salt deposits. Professional inspection and DPC replacement resolve this. See our services.
Cracks can allow water to penetrate walls and cause damp. Structural repair combined with damp-proofing protects your home. Learn more.
Flashings prevent water ingress around roof junctions, chimneys, and windows. Damaged or missing flashings can lead to damp. Our roofing services include flashing inspection and repair.
If the ground outside is higher than the DPC, water can bypass the barrier causing rising damp. Lowering ground levels and improving drainage can prevent this.
Proper ventilation removes excess indoor moisture, reducing condensation and mould. Bathrooms, kitchens, and hidden areas should have adequate airflow.
Condensation usually occurs in corners and windowsills, whereas structural damp affects large wall areas. A professional inspection accurately diagnoses the cause.
Damp and mould can cause respiratory issues, allergies, and aggravate asthma. Prompt treatment protects your health. See guidance from the Property Care Association.
Regular maintenance, proper ventilation, and prompt repairs prevent damp. Keep gutters clean, seal walls, and control humidity for a healthy, dry home.
