Damp, condensation and mould

There are different types of dampness that may affect your home. The information on this page should help you to identify them and let you know what to do next if you have a problem.

Condensation is a big cause of damp in homes and is often mistaken for the other types. Condensation can be made worse if the other types of dampness are present.

We’ve also provided helpful tips on how to reduce the risk of damp and mould in your home by making small changes to daily routines.

Please ensure you send as much detail as possible, including a photograph (if possible), the location of the repair, address, and how to get in touch with you, so we can arrange access.
