What causes condensation in my home?

Condensation happens when warm, moist air meets cold surfaces like windows and walls. It’s often caused by poor ventilation, high indoor humidity, and differences in temperature between inside and outside.

How does condensation lead to black mould?

When condensation sits on walls, ceilings, or windows for long periods, it creates damp patches that allow mould spores to grow. Black mould thrives in these moist conditions.

Is black mould dangerous?

Yes. Black mould releases spores that can cause respiratory problems, allergies, and asthma. It’s particularly dangerous for children, elderly people, and those with existing health issues.

Can I clean black mould myself?

You can remove small patches with household cleaning products, but this only treats the surface. Unless the cause of the moisture is fixed, the mould will return. Professional treatment ensures the source is addressed and the mould is safely removed.

Will mould come back after treatment?

Not if the cause of the moisture is fixed. We focus on permanent solutions, not temporary fixes.

How long does it take to treat?

Most jobs can be completed in a single day, depending on the extent of the problem and any repairs required.

Stop Breathing In Hidden Mould Spores 

Condensation might look like nothing more than misted-up windows, but it’s often the first warning sign of a bigger problem — excess moisture in your home.
