Condensation
Let London Damp Specialist make your home safe and dry
Condensation Solutions
Condensation is a very common problem in structures of every kind, regardless of age; it results in an unappealing, unpleasant, and harmful atmosphere; so it is critical to take care of any suspected condensation as soon as possible. A swift specialist investigation from the experts at London Damp Specialists can immediately assess and determine condensation and provide you with potent moisture solutions.
Condensation Problems
Condensation is usually seen around wintertime when the warm air inside a building interacts with cold exterior surfaces such as walls or windows.
It is quite normal for an occupied building to hold water vapour in its warm air from everyday life: bathing, cooking, drying laundry and, of course, breathing. However, once any heating source is removed, the inside warm air rapidly reduces in temperature leaving droplets or residue on surfaces with no means of evaporation. Over time, this moisture will penetrate fabrics, plaster and woodwork, eventually manifesting itself in the telltale damp smell, black mould around windows and mould on walls and skirting boards.
How to Manage Condensation
There are solutions for dealing with condensation. While increasing ventilation, keeping doors shut in spaces with high moisture, and introducing a movable household dehumidifier could mitigate the effects of condensation, they fail to address the issue and provide a permanent condensation solution, and they may still allow further damage to your home or family’s health.
London damp specialists can quickly diagnose and examine any condensation issues, pinpoint the cause and then suggest condensation solutions, leaving your property safe and dry. This may include:
- Sealing the room and running a dehumidifier for a recommended time
- Measuring air humidity and temperature with 'humiditect' cards, meters and other instruments
- Once condensation (rather than damp) is confirmed, we may recommend installing a condensation control unit, such as one of these Nuaire ventilation solutions, which will operate cheaply, quickly and highly effectively out of sight in your property, drawing out vapour-filled air and replacing it with modified air

Excellent work from Paul and his team. Quote was fair and work was undertaken fairly soon. They protected the floors and tidied up afterwards with barely any sign of them having been in, impressive considering the scope of work done. Its now 2 months on and no signs of damp, Thanks Paul.
