Condensation surveys

Understand why moisture settles on cold surfaces.

A focused inspection of humidity levels, heating patterns, ventilation and insulation to explain where condensation forms and what drives it.

A structured approach

Every condensation survey considers four key areas.

Humidity

Measuring the moisture content in the air across different rooms and conditions.

Temperature

Assessing surface temperatures, cold bridges and areas where warm air meets cold surfaces.

Ventilation

Reviewing how air moves through the property, including extraction, trickle vents and natural airflow.

Insulation

Checking walls, windows and loft insulation that may affect heat retention and surface temperatures.

The bigger picture

Condensation is rarely caused by a single factor.

Heating patterns, occupancy, ventilation, insulation and the age of the property all interact. Our survey looks at the combination of factors relevant to your home rather than jumping to a single cause.

Common condensation scenarios.

Streaming windows

Water running down glass is one of the most common signs. We assess why warm moist air is meeting cold surfaces.

Black mould on walls

When condensation settles repeatedly on the same surfaces, mould often follows. The survey identifies the moisture source.

Damp patches without leaks

Damp-looking patches that come and go may be condensation rather than penetrating damp. We help distinguish the cause.
