Damp and mould

Condensation is when moisture or water in the air collects on a cooler surface. Most people have a little bit of condensation, like the droplets you see on your windows after a shower.

While it is usually nothing to worry about, condensation can lead to damp and mould if left for too long.

Mould looks like little black dots in the corners of the windows or anywhere water collects. Mould can be bad for your health, so it is important you take action if you spot signs of mould in your home.

Damp looks like a wet patch on a wall or ceiling and appears when condensation is left for a long time. Left untreated, damp can cause structural problems over a long period of time.
