FAQs
Why are British homes so damp and moldy? ›
The UK has the oldest housing stock in Europe - this presents two problems, firstly a lot of houses weren't built with damp proof measures we expect today. Secondly, a lot of added in damp proof courses serve to block the breathability of houses, exacerbating the problem.
What are the three 3 most common causes of persistent damp in buildings? ›There are many causes of excess moisture in the structure of a building, such as leaking pipes and damage to gutters and roofs. However, a high proportion of damp problems in buildings are caused by rain penetration, condensation or rising damp.
What causes damp and mould on internal walls? ›If moist air is cooled by contact with cold surfaces, such as walls, windows or mirrors, the moisture condenses into water droplets, known as condensation. Mould often occurs because of condensation.
Can living in a damp Mouldy house make you ill? ›Damp and mould primarily affect the airways and lungs, but they can also affect the eyes and skin. The respiratory effects of damp and mould can cause serious illness and, in the most severe cases, death (see 'Health effects of damp and mould').
Why is mold such a big problem in the UK? ›Condensation is the leading cause of mould in homes across the UK. It most commonly occurs in parts of the home where there are high moisture levels: bathrooms, kitchens, and around windows.
How long does a damp internal wall take to dry out? ›There is no hard and fast answer because it depends wholly on the extent of the damage and the wall itself, as well as the core issue. It could take a few days, or it could take a few weeks. The most important thing is to check damp walls early on and begin the drying process as soon as possible.
How do you remove moisture from inside walls? ›Use fans and a dehumidifier (if you have one). Fans will move the air around the damp area to help dry it.
Why are UK houses so humid? ›The first answer, according to those who claim to know, is the age of our housing stock. Britain has some of the oldest housing stock in Europe. The second problem is poor build quality – either through inadequately fitted insulation or through lack of damp proofing.
Why is England so humid? ›Because we are an island and surrounded by water , heat from the sun evaporates the water into. the atmosphere and as it passes over land cools and condenses adding humidity to the air above us.
Why are British houses so poorly insulated? ›Housing in England
Homes built pre-1925 mainly consisted of solid external walls (as opposed to the more standard external cavity wall present today). These types of walls make it typically more difficult to insulate due to it being more expensive in comparison to filling up a cavity wall.
Why is London so damp? ›
Consistent rain and high humidity, lack of proper damp-proofing measures, poor ventilation and air circulation, solid walls and high population density are factors that contribute to making London houses more prone to dampness.
