Condensation control services in Central England
Condensation is a frequent and frustrating issue in many homes, especially during colder months. Condensation occurs when warm, moisture-filled air meets cooler surfaces, leaving damp patches, peeling wallpaper, and even black mould in its wake. Serving across Central England, we offer reliable solutions to keep your property free from condensation-related problems. Contact PRESERVA.
What causes condensation?
Condensation occurs when warm, moisture-laden air comes into contact with a cold surface. As the air cools it can no longer hold the moisture, which then forms water droplets on walls, windows, and other surfaces, from which mould can form if left over a period of time.
This can be caused by insufficient heating and/or insulation leading to excessively cold surfaces, inadequate ventilation or excessive internal moisture, such as from cooking, washing, or drying clothes indoors. Both old and modern buildings can be affected, but it is particularly common in properties that have been modernised. Improvements like double glazing and cavity wall insulation increase energy efficiency but can inadvertently reduce ventilation, trapping moisture inside and leading to condensation on surfaces throughout the home.
Controlling Condensation in Your Property
Managing humidity is key to reducing condensation, and for more minor issues there are some self help measures which may help. These include:
• Adjusting heating to keep a consistent moderate temperature.
• Drying clothes outside where possible and avoiding unventilated rooms.
• Keeping bathroom and kitchen doors closed when producing steam, with windows open and/or extractor fans utilised if available.
• Ensuring lids are used during cooking to prevent excessive moisture release.
• Cleaning affected areas with professional mould removal kits.
• Apply specialist coatings like PreservaTherm anti-condensation paint.
• Keeping the property well ventilated throughout, ensuring air circulation even during colder months.
• Using an electronic dehumidifier in problem areas to reduce atmospheric moisture.
If your property is suffering from extensive mould and condensation, at PRESERVA we can identify the cause and offer further advanced solutions for long-term protection.
