Condensation and mould

Condensation and mould

Condensation and mould can be really hard to deal with especially during the winter months.

Condensation is a very common form of damp where moisture generated through everyday living condenses on cold surfaces in the home; typically around windows, behind furniture or in colder parts of the property. 

If you are having problems with damp and mould it is important that you let your landlord or letting agent know and give them the opportunity to investigate it further and resolve the issue with you.  However,  if you landlord doesn't respond or doesn't resolve the problem, please contact us for further guidance and action as appropriate.  environmental.Health@Stroud.Gov.UK.
