What causes damp and mould?

Damp and mould usually occur as a result of moisture getting trapped in your home through normal, everyday activities such as cooking, doing laundry and washing.

When this warm air touches cold surfaces, especially during the colder months, it forms condensation. If left untreated, this can form patches of mould on your walls.
