Poor indoor air quality is a growing problem in UK homes, where a recent survey revealed that 20% of householders reported that they experienced condensation and mould growth in the home.

Believe it or not, mould growth can have a detrimental effect on the health of those living in the affected property, which is why mould problems should be dealt with quickly, effectively and correctly. As tempting as it may be to paint over mould on your walls it isn’t going to solve the problem.

Waking up to streaming windows is depressing, especially when it’s wet outside. It makes curtains and blinds feel all cold and damp, in some instances they may actually be wet from the condensation, it all adds to the misery of a cold dismal morning.

Allergies are extremely commonplace, with over 44% of adults in the UK suffering from them at some point in their lives. But we still don't know exactly why we develop them. Alarmingly, the number of allergy sufferers is growing with every year. Children are particularly susceptible to allergies. However, these can often disappear as they get older. By the same token, people can sometimes develop allergies in later life that they never had before. The actual triggers are hard to decipher, although pre-existing hereditary conditions and environmental factors seem to make a vital contribution.

The organised few will have already started preparing for Christmas, presents will have been bought and cards may already have been written! In the run up to the festive season, many householders will be sprucing up their homes ready to welcome relatives and friends in time for Christmas.

One of the primary concerns when building new homes today is energy efficiency. This can be achieved by using many different techniques, including making them more airtight.

Over 200 members of staff from EnviroVent took part in twelve community projects in the Harrogate area as part of their local 'In It Together' community day.
