With October not too far away the age old problem of condensation will be back with a vengeance causing dampness and misery for homeowners. Condensation traditionally occurs during colder weather, regardless of whether it is raining or dry. It tends to appear on cold surfaces and places where there is little or no movement of air – for example in the corners of rooms, near windows or behind cupboards and wardrobes.
It’s the time of year when thousands of people wake up to windows looking like the scene below. Condensation occurs when moist air come into contact with air or a surface that is at a lower temperature. This is generally seen when warm air in living areas in homes penetrates to the cooler parts of the property. Condensation can lead to other problems in the home such as black spot mould which in turn can lead to health problems such as asthma.

Condensation is by far the most common cause of dampness in buildings, probably accounting for most of the dampness problems reported. Condensation can affect both old and new properties but would appear to be a significant problem where the building has undergone some form of modernisation – for example the fitting of double glazing.
At Timberwise we are finding more and more misdiagnosis of dampness with problems being attributed to rising damp rather than to condensation. Of course, after such misdiagnosis , the installation of a damp-proof course and replastering has no effect and the problems the householder is experiencing remain. Therefore, it is essential that dampness problems are correctly diagnosed in the first instance. Incorrect diagnosis can therefore prove to be an inconvenient and costly mistake.
At Timberwise you can be confident that your property is in the hands of the property care experts.

To help control condensation and other air quality issues Timberwise can provide a full range of ventilation and air management solutions to help alleviate the effects of condensation and poor air quality within domestic and commercial properties. When looking at installing a fan in your property it is important that the correct fan is installed and life style advice adhered to otherwise the condensation problem will continue.
At Timberwise, our surveyors come across many examples of fan units that are no longer helping keep condensation levels down . Here we can see an example of a fan unit fitted in a kitchen where the sensor head that identifies when the humidity is such that the fan should automatically operate has become clogged with fatty deposits from cooking. This means that the fan can only be switched on and off manually and as a result condensation and mould have come back.
All Envirowise fans from Timberwise feature a contamination proof sensor head that comes with a life time guarantee. This gives you the peace of mind that the fan will provide a reliable service in alleviating condensation in the property.
Envirowise offers a range of innovative solutions to help alleviate the problems associated with poor air quality within buildings. Envirowise can carry out a “Property / Air Quality Check” to determine issues and solutions for a healthy lifestyle. This involves our consultant meeting with you to discuss the various issues relating to air quality. We will determine the cause of air quality problems and offer solutions and detailed advice to improve conditions within the property.
