The UK’s leading ventilation manufacturer EnviroVent is marking Allergy Awareness Week (24th to 30th April) by revealing some startling facts about allergies in the home.

If you’ve woken up this winter to the sight of misty windows that are streaming with water, or perhaps you’ve noticed an unwanted puddle of water on your windowsill, it's likely that your home is suffering from condensation.

Hay fever is believed to affect over 10 million people in the UK and can be an annual visitor or afflict people for a shorter time. It is an allergy caused by pollen or dust which inflames the mucous membranes of the eyes and nose, causing a runny nose and watery eyes.

September is not the usual time of year we associate with the landlord’s nightmare that are high energy bills. However, from proper ventilation to fridge care, there are always a few things that can be done around any property to keep it in optimum shape and save money. You might think that these kind of tips might bore your tenant to death at best, or be flat out ignored at worst, but you'd be surprised how much of a motivation money saving is for many people!

One in five homes in the UK is affected by condensation. Daily tasks such as bathing, showering, cooking and washing are main attributes to condensation problems as they produce a significant amount of moisture.

The air in our homes can be more polluted than the air outdoor so it is important to check the indoor air and take measures to improve it.

When the phrase ‘air pollution’ is mentioned, most people immediately think of traffic fumes, smoke from incinerators, or emissions from industrial plants or factories. Indoor air pollution in your own home doesn’t immediately spring to mind. There are various reasons for poor air quality in the home, but many people have no idea that this can be a factor that if left unchecked, can, sometimes severely, affect the health of the occupants.

It’s that time of year again when Landlords, Letting Agents and Environmental Health Officers start receiving numerous telephone calls from tenants complaining about damp and mould problems in their properties.
