Are you worried about condensation or mould? 

LWNT is offering residents free support to tackle potential condensation and mould in their homes – including before it starts! 

If you are concerned about this potential problem in your home, reach out to LWNT on 0800 389 2005 to organise a time for a surveyor to come and inspect your home. The team will then come up with an action plan to help you tackle the issue, or at least monitor the risks. 
These plans range from preventative measures like installing smart thermometers that track humidity levels, to full mould removal toolkits, including removal sprays and moisture absorbers. If you’d like any more information, please contact lancasterwestoffice@rbkc.gov.uk  

Why is condensation a problem?

Condensation is caused when warm, humid air meets a cold surface. It is perhaps the most common form of damp that can appear in your home and can cause structural damage to your property including wallpaper to peel away, damp patches to appear on walls and a build up of moisture, which causes streaming windows.
Left untreated condensation can lead to mould growth which can be potentially harmful and lead to serious health issues and breathing difficulties which is why it is important to reduce humidity levels in a property. The reason condensation appears in your property is due to a lack of adequate ventilation which causes humidity levels to rise. As we spend more time indoors and make our property more energy efficient the build up of moisture and humidity levels increase. 

What tools are on offer?

The air quality monitors we can provide will record the humidity in whichever room they are placed, and if it is above 60% for an extended period of time then you have a humidity problem. 
If you have already noticed the growth of mould in your home, LWNT can provide free mould removal spray and a moisture absorber to place in the affected area. This will help stop the mould from returning.
