Framing outline is visible on the cladding on cold mornings

  • Condensation is forming on cladding where there is insufficient or no insulation

    How to repair

  • Condensation forming at the framing locations when the wall is well insulated due to thermal bridging of the framing

    How to repair

Roof space – insulation is wet

  • A leak through roofing, around a chimney, flue or other roof penetration, from an inadequately flashed parapet or an overflowing internal gutter

    How to repair

  • Leaking pipes or water tanks in the roof space

Condensation forming on windows

  • High levels of moisture within the rooms due to a combination of poor ventilation and not enough heating, poor insulation 

    How to repair

  • Subfloor dampness getting into the rooms through gaps in the flooring and through service holes cut in framing

Ceiling mould/mildew growth

  • Condensation forms on the ceiling because the roof space is not insulated - mould growth is the result of regular condensation occurring 

    How to repair

  • Not enough fresh air ventilation to the space

    How to repair

Ceiling mould/mildew growth adjacent to the external walls

  • Condensation forms on the ceiling because the roof space insulation has not been taken to the eaves 

    How to repair

Ceiling framing location visible on the ceiling

  • Condensation forms on the ceiling along the lines of the cold bridges formed by the framing in an insulated roof space - mould growth is the result of regular condensation 

    How to repair

  • Condensation forming on areas of ceiling where there is no framing in an uninsulated ceiling 

    How to repair

Ceiling – water staining

Timber board or plywood ceilings – black staining of timber

Wall linings generally – mould/mildew growth

  • Condensation forming regularly because the wall is not insulated, the house is not sufficiently heated and/or internal moisture levels are too high 

    How to repair

Wall framing location is visible

  • Condensation forming on the areas between the framing because the wall is not insulated – mould growth is the result of regular condensation

    How to repair

  • Mould is forming on the framing locations because a thermal bridge (framing has lower thermal performance than the insulated part of the wall)

    How to repair

Timber boarding, veneered MDF or plywood – black staining
