🏠Experts from INSITU Building Preservation suggest that simple checks can prevent condensation, damp, and mould growth.

⏩Households can open their windows for a short time each day, even in winter. Just five to ten minutes of fresh air can help prevent condensation from building up.

⏩Extractor fans should also be used properly after showers and cooking.

⏩Avoid drying clothes indoors, as it can release large amounts of moisture into the room.
