Help for Homeowners
Practical property help for damp, mould, condensation, repairs, ventilation, odd smells and maintenance issues in your own home.
Common homeowner worries
Most people contact us because something looks wrong, smells wrong or keeps coming back.
Mould and condensation
Black mould, streaming windows, cold corners, stale rooms, musty smells or condensation that keeps returning.
Repairs and defects
Small repairs, awkward defects, leaking gutters, blocked vents, damaged finishes or maintenance jobs that need prioritising.
Cause-first advice
We help you avoid paying for the wrong fix
Homeowners often get told different things by different trades. One person says rising damp, another says condensation, another wants to sell a treatment, and suddenly your home has become a guessing competition with invoices.
We try to understand what is actually happening before recommending the next step.

Good for: surveyor at work, damp meter, thermal camera, property exterior, mould issue or repair defect.
A practical first look
Sometimes the sensible start is a Property Health Check
If the cause is not obvious, a Property Health Check can help identify whether the issue is likely to be damp, condensation, poor ventilation, external defects, leaks, blocked air bricks, drainage problems or general maintenance.
The aim is to stop you spending money on the wrong solution, which is always a nice change from the usual property repair circus.
Simple principle
Find the cause first. Then decide the repair. Doing it the other way round is how people end up buying expensive nonsense.

The issue keeps returning
If mould, damp, staining or condensation keeps coming back, the underlying cause probably has not been dealt with.
You have had conflicting advice
If different contractors are telling you different things, it is worth stepping back and checking the cause properly.
You want a sensible plan
Sometimes you just need a clear priority list so you know what to do first and what can wait.
