Healthy Homes for spring

Healthy Homes for spring

As the weather starts to warm up and the days get longer, spring is a great time to refresh your home. But it’s also a time when you might notice issues like damp and mould.

The good news is that small everyday habits can make a big difference, and if you do spot a problem, we’re here to help. Spotting issues early helps us investigate quickly and prevent them from getting worse.

6 small things that can help keep your home healthy

There are some simple steps that can help reduce moisture in your home:

  • 1

    Let fresh air in

    Opening windows for a short time each day helps remove moisture and improve air flow.

  • 2

    Use extractor fans where possible

    Fans in kitchens and bathrooms help remove steam when cooking, showering or bathing.

  • 3

    Close doors when cooking or showering

    This helps stop moisture spreading around the home.

  • 4

    Wipe away condensation

    If you notice water on windows or walls, wiping it away can help stop moisture building up.

  • 5

    Allow air to circulate

    Leaving a small gap between furniture and walls can help air move around more easily.

  • 6

    Dispose of unwanted items

    Clearing clutter can improve air flow and reduce areas where moisture can build up. If you have large items you need to get rid of, bulky waste removal services may be available to help.
