We Kill Mould so it's gone for good!

·       Mould will grow in cold areas when moisture levels in the air are high. When relative humidity reaches 70% mould can take up to ten days to grow, efficient extraction ventilation is the only way to remove this problem permanently.

·       If you notice leaks or water ingress, contact a plumber as soon as possible as even slow leaks will increase the humidity in your home.

·       Mould is no indication of cleanliness and in most cases is caused by factors in the building as opposed to its occupants. Whilst it is unpleasant to have mould in the home, remember that disturbing the mould accelerates the process in which spores become airborne, this is when they can become irritants to the eyes, skin and respiratory system.  Even when mould is wiped away, without efficient extraction ventilation it will return. We advise that mould remains undisturbed and that you seek professional treatment, as this will eradicate it safely and permanently.

·       When windows are opened to ventilate a room, doors to the corresponding rooms should be closed to prevent moisture being spread throughtout the property.

·       Window trickle vents are a means of passive ventilation without compromising the loss of heat and security.  However, without  ample airflow they can be ineffective at efficiently ventilating a property.

·       Whenever you cook, wash-up or create any moisture in the bathroom, kitchen or utility rooms. 

·      Building regulations part F states that kitchens, bathrooms, utilities and wet rooms should have adequate ventilation to prevent a build up of humdity. If you would like a no obligation chat about the the best ventilation solutions for your property please contact us.

·       Tumble driers that vent to the outside should always be properly ducted through an external wall. When ducting is fed through a window it is ineffective at pushing the moisture out of the property and moisture can come back into the property when not properly ducted. If you have a condenser dryer ensure that the room is well ventilated. If your dryer is in the kitchen, make sure to use the extractor fan and close the kitchen door so that moisture does not spread across the property.

·       Drying laundry indoors releases approximately 2.5 litres of moisture into the air per load, greatly increasing the humidity in the home. When it is necessary to dry laundry indoors this should be done in a warm room with an extractor fan and the door closed, or when there is no extraction present, with a window open to ensure the moisture is vented.
