Prevent Damp and Mould

8th May 2026

1 in 4 homes in the UK (approximately 6.5 million households) suffer from damp and mould

 

This is a consequence of poor ventilation within the home and is a real danger to any occupier’s health. As we spend as much as 80% of our time at home it is critical to address the health issues associated with poor air flow.

 

Where to look for mould

Improving air quality within a property is a key element when reducing excess moisture in the air and removing as many of the 900 pollutants that offer a hazard to our respiratory system. Living in a cold home with damp and mould will inevitably affect our well-being as we spend such a large proportion of our lives within our homes. 

 

There are various alternatives and mixes of ventilation that can provide a system that replaces stale air with fresh air. An efficient air flow mechanism will remove high levels of humidity eliminating condensation and dampness. A must for keeping us safe and warm.

The image below explains how moder homes have been insulated since the 1970’s but now may suffer from damp and mould as those improvements to the dwelling have created other issues.
