In a damp, coastal climate like Swansea's, condensation is a really common problem — and left unchecked it turns into black mould and damage. The good news is that a few simple changes make a big difference.
Improve ventilation
- Open windows for a short 'purge' each morning
- Use extractor fans in the kitchen and bathroom
- Keep trickle vents on windows open
- Don't block air bricks or vents
Tackle the moisture at source
Dry washing outside where possible, cover pans when cooking, and keep bathroom doors shut while showering to stop moist air spreading through the house.
Check the building fabric
Failed window seals, gaps around frames and worn bathroom silicone all let moisture build up. Re-sealing and small repairs can cut condensation noticeably.
