Condensation and Mould Prevention

Please follow the steps below at all times to help prevent the build-up of condensation and associated problems.

Always ventilate rooms as much as possible, if windows have trickle vents make sure they are open.

If you have UPVC windows put them on the latch in the locked position. This allows air to circulate while the window is still locked.

Velux Windows - There is a vent at the top where the window opens, this should be open at all times to ventilate your room.

Keeps blinds & curtains open during the day to help air circulate.

Avoid drying clothes on radiators and airers whenever possible. Make sure a window is open if you do.

Condensation can form on the inside of windows & sills if this occurs wipe them down with a cloth or towel on a daily basis.

Clean the insides of windows regularly to prevent any mould forming.

If any mould appears wipe away with a mixture of bleach & water.

Always wipe down shower cubicles & baths when you have finished & remove any water which may have gathered on the floor.

Never turn extractor fans off.

Make sure the heating is left on an appropriate setting during cold weather so rooms don’t get too cold and pipes don’t burst.

Open windows and use extractor fans to provide adequate ventilation when cooking.
