As the weather turns colder, condensation becomes more common, but a few simple habits can protect your home and your family’s health:

  • Ventilate effectively: Ensure trickle vents, air bricks and extract vents are open and unobstructed.
  • Open windows regularly, especially after showering or cooking.
  • Manage moisture at the source: When drying clothes inside, use the bathroom with the door closed, the window open, and the extractor fan running.
  • After showering, use a squeegee to wipe down wet surfaces and glass.
  • Maintain consistent heating: Keeping a comfortable, even temperature throughout your home reduces cold spots where condensation forms.

Your health and comfort are our priority. If you are struggling to heat your home or keep it properly ventilated, please reach out to our Housing & Customer Services team so we can support you.
