Most condensation mould appears between October and March. A short check of fans, vents, heating and furniture placement in September or October prevents most of it.SeasonalFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/mould-in-victorian-terraced-houses/https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/mould-in-victorian-terraced-houses/Victorian and pre-1920s UK homes usually have solid brick or stone walls with no cavity, which are colder and were designed to absorb and release moisture. Mould tends to follow when cement render, gypsum plaster, plastic paints and sealed windows stop the walls breathing, or when gutters and pointing let rain in. Fixes focus on keeping water out, letting walls dry and ventilating well.HomeownersFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/mould-in-new-build-homes/https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/mould-in-new-build-homes/New build homes often get condensation and mould in their first one or two winters because the concrete, plaster and screed are still releasing construction moisture, and modern airtight homes need their ventilation running properly. Keep trickle vents open, run extract fans or MVHR as designed and report any leak or persistent damp patch to the developer in writing.HomeownersFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/mould-myths-busted/https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/mould-myths-busted/Most mould myths come from treating the stain rather than the moisture. Bleach whitens mould without killing roots in porous surfaces, painting over it hides it temporarily, and not all black mould is toxic black mould. What works is cleaning with a proper fungicide, then fixing the condensation, leak or ventilation problem that allowed it to grow.AdviceFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/renters-rights-act-2026-mould/https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/renters-rights-act-2026-mould/From 1 May 2026, the Renters' Rights Act 2025 abolished section 21 no-fault evictions in England, so tenants can report damp and mould without fear of being evicted for complaining. The Decent Homes Standard, which requires homes to be free of damp and mould, is due to apply to private rentals from 2035, and Awaab's Law is set to be extended to private landlords after consultation.RegulationsFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/mould-health-risks-who-is-most-at-risk/https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/mould-health-risks-who-is-most-at-risk/UK government guidance says damp and mould can harm anyone's health, mainly by affecting the lungs, causing allergic reactions and worsening asthma, and that some people face greater risk. Children, older people, pregnant women and anyone with asthma, lung disease or a weakened immune system are most vulnerable, so mould in their homes should be dealt with promptly.AdviceFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/drying-clothes-indoors-without-mould/https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/drying-clothes-indoors-without-mould/A single load of washing dried indoors can release up to around 2 litres of water into the air, and drying on radiators in bedrooms is one of the most common causes of condensation mould in UK homes. Dry washing outside when possible; otherwise use one closed room with a window open or a dehumidifier running, and never dry it in a room where people sleep.How-toFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/ideal-humidity-level-home-mould/https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/ideal-humidity-level-home-mould/Most UK homes are comfortable and low-risk for mould with indoor relative humidity of roughly 40 to 60 percent. Mould becomes likely when humidity stays above about 70 percent for long periods, or when cold surfaces get damp even at lower room humidity. A cheap digital hygrometer in the bedroom and bathroom shows whether your home is in the danger zone.How-toFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/buying-or-selling-house-with-mould/https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/buying-or-selling-house-with-mould/Mould found in a survey is usually a sign of condensation, a leak or damp, and the real question is what is causing it and what it will cost to fix. Sellers should answer the property information form honestly about damp and known problems, and buyers should get the cause checked and quoted before exchange, then negotiate on evidence rather than appearance.HomeownersFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/mould-in-offices-and-workplaces/https://mould-cleaning.pages.dev/blog/mould-in-offices-and-workplaces/UK employers must keep workplaces clean, maintained and adequately ventilated under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, and assess risks to staff under general health and safety law, so visible mould should be investigated and dealt with. Who pays for repairs depends on the lease, but the employer is responsible for protecting staff in the meantime.BusinessFri, 06 Nov 2026 09:00:00 +0000
