Dealing with damp, mould & condensation

What is condensation

Condensation occurs when warm, humid air comes into contact with a cold surface, like a window or an external wall, causing water to form and run down as droplets. Moisture that remains on walls can lead to the growth of black mould.

How do I know it’s condensation?

If the surface is cold and wet, it’s likely condensation is the cause. There might be places where wallpaper is peeling due to moisture. Look for areas on your wall with clouds of little black spots – this is mould caused by condensation.
