Condensation Damp Treatment
Condensation Treatment Specialists in London
From boiling the kettle, cooking on the hob, to drying your clothes indoors, condensation is simply the moisture caused by everyday living. Moisture is abundant in the warm atmosphere of your property, but when the property cools down this moisture will condense and settle on cool surfaces.
Condensation is an extremely underestimated cause of damage to fixtures and fittings in your home, and is almost certainly the most common form of dampness found in buildings.
Condensation usually occurs in the winter months when properties are not aired properly due to it being cold outside and can destroy plasterwork, window frames, window sills, skirting boards and interior walls.
What causes condensation?
Condensation in the home occurs when warm air comes into contact with a cool surface. This process is very apparent when central heating is used in combination with single glazed windows in winter.
Condensation in properties can cause:
- Dampness
- Mould growth
- Musty smell
- Wood rot
- Corrosion
- Weakening of mortar
- Weakened masonry walls
- Health issues

There are many steps you can take yourself to help reduce condensation in your property:
To help prevent condensation in a home or business premises, you can try a combination of the following steps:
- Open the windows

Damp proof outside wall
James was very professional and did a quick job. He also cleaned up after himself which I was grateful for. Thank you.
Penetrative damp problem
James was very efficient and considerate. Prompt response to job, organised to come round to view the problem on the weekend, gave a written quote and then carried out the work diligently. Time will tell if the damp problem is gone but for now I would recommend him.
Sudbourne Road damp
James was reliable, worked fast and tidied up well afterwards. He did a neat job and we were very pleased with the results. He even repaired some other holes in the plaster in another room as a bonus for no extra charge. We would happily use him again and have no hesitation recommending him.
