Condensation & Mould – Hot Topics Today
The issue of condensation is not new. However, it certainly caught the nation’s attention when featured on ITV recently following the dreadful conditions that tenants in a council block in Croydon are living in.
Our article on ‘Homeworking and condensation: Adapting to the ‘new normal’“ has been published in PBC Today, which has cast a further spotlight on damp and directs them towards PCA members and the specialist skills they have in helping to tackle these issues.
