Dealing with damp and mould
Damp and mould might seem like a small problem at first, but if it’s not treated, it can cause damage to your home and health.
We are here to help and the best way to tackle damp, mould and condensation is to act early.
What Is Damp and Mould?
Damp is excess moisture in your home. It can come from leaks, condensation, or poor ventilation.
Mould is a type of fungus that grows in damp conditions. It often appears as black, green, or white patches on walls, ceilings, or around windows.
Living with damp and mould can affect your health, especially if you’re living with health conditions including asthma, allergies and respiratory conditions.
If you or someone in your household is affected, it’s important to report damp and mould to us as soon as you notice it.
Damage to your home
Damp and mould doesn’t just affect your health; it can damage your home and belongings too:
- Peeling paint and wallpaper
- Rotting wood and window frames
- Damage to plaster and brickwork
- Increased heating bills due to poor insulation
The longer it’s left untreated, the worse it gets, and the more it costs to fix.
What you can do
Here’s how you can help prevent damp and mould:
- Ventilate your home: Open windows regularly and use extractor fans.
- Heat your home steadily: Avoid sudden temperature changes.
- Report leaks early: Use MyMagenta or our Video Repair Assistant.
- Dry clothes in well-ventilated areas: Or use a tumble dryer if available.
- Leave space between furniture and walls: This helps air circulate.
