General tips
Heating is a factor in helping in the prevention of condensation. Having the heating on at a low to moderate setting and not letting air temperature fall below 16 degrees during the day is helpful. This can help improve the internal temperature of surfaces in the property which reduces the likelihood of condensation. Try to not obstruct radiators with belongings or furniture such as beds. We recognise that energy costs are high which can make heating a home difficult. Advice on support which may be available is on the Lambeth Council community solutions page.
Other tips include:
- Try to open windows when weather outside is warmer to improve the ventilation in the room.
- Check the windows for sealant damage that will allow rain to seep into your home.
- Check the exterior for any damage to the property, such as cracks, that could be letting water in.
