Damp in homes typically arises from one of three sources: rising damp, penetrating damp or condensation. Dampness often leads to mould, which can be unpleasant and harmful to health.
Our Mould and Condensation leaflet shows how to identify the three main types of mould, and provides information and advice on how to prevent and treat mould, and manage condensation.
The video below made by Shelter also gives some useful tips for dealing with condensation.
