Let’s keep your home healthy this winter 🧼🏠

If you notice condensation, damp patches or mould, don’t wait. Early reporting helps us fix issues faster.

You can help prevent damp by:
• Heating rooms to a steady temperature
• Improving airflow around windows and walls
• Wiping surfaces where moisture collects

If you’re struggling, please reach out. We can offer advice, support and help to address the issue.

Why Ventilation Matters

Fresh air fights mould! 🌬️✨
During winter we keep homes warm and cosy but moisture can build up quickly. Good ventilation helps prevent damp, mould and condensation.

Try:
• Opening trickle vents
• Leaving internal doors open after showering
• Using extractor fans
• Avoiding drying laundry on radiators

If you spot early signs of mould, report it straight away so we can support you.

Keep damp and mould away this winter ❄️🏡

Cold weather and extra moisture indoors can make damp more likely, but small daily steps can make a big difference:

• Keep rooms ventilated by opening windows for 10–15 minutes
• Wipe away condensation from windows each morning
• Keep furniture slightly away from walls
• Dry clothes outdoors if possible, or in a well-ventilated room
• Use pan lids and extractor fans when cooking or bathing

If you’re worried about damp or mould in your home, please let us know , we’re here to help.
