Condensation Surveys in London, Kent & East Sussex

Professional Condensation, Mould & Ventilation Assessments Across London, Kent and East Sussex

Condensation is one of the most common moisture issues affecting UK homes yet it is also one of the most misunderstood. Left unresolved, it can lead to persistent black mould, poor indoor air quality, damage to finishes, and long‑term health concerns. Our professional condensation surveys provide clear, evidence‑based diagnosis of why condensation is occurring and what needs to be done to prevent it.

We combine building science, ventilation analysis, moisture profiling, and environmental assessment to deliver accurate, practical, and tailored recommendations for your property.

What Is a Condensation Survey?

A condensation survey is a detailed investigation into the moisture behaviour, ventilation performance, and environmental conditions within a property. We assess:

The goal is simple: to identify the root cause of condensation and provide a clear, practical plan to resolve it.

Why Condensation Happens

Condensation occurs when warm, moisture‑laden air meets a cold surface. But the underlying reasons vary widely. Common causes include:

001-ventilation

Inadequate ventilation

002-conditioner

Underperforming or faulty extractor fans

003-moisturizing

High moisture production

005-insulation-1

Cold bridging at external walls or junctions

004-insulation

Poor insulation or thermal performance

006-house

Inconsistent heating

007-indoor

Blocked or restricted airflow pathways

008-ventilation-1

Window trickle vents closed or missing

009-occupancy

Occupancy patterns and lifestyle factors

Every property behaves differently — which is why a professional assessment is essential.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

No — condensation is caused by moisture in the air, not water ingress. Diagnosis is essential.

Yes, unless the underlying cause is resolved. Our survey identifies that cause.

Not always — we test performance before recommending upgrades.

Often yes — many solutions are practical, affordable, and non‑invasive.

It can be, especially for vulnerable occupants. Proper diagnosis is important.
