Room-by-room damp guide

Where in the home is the problem?

Bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, basements and lofts behave differently. Start with the room, then compare the moisture patterns that actually fit it.

Moisture behaves differently around the home

Steam, cold surfaces, hidden pipework, external walls and below-ground construction all change what is likely — and what is not.

01Moisture produced in the roomBathing, cooking, drying laundry and occupancy can push humidity up quickly.
02Cold or exposed surfacesExternal corners, windows and poorly insulated walls are frequent condensation points.
03Water entering from elsewhereRoofs, pipes, gutters, ground moisture and neighbouring rooms can create local damp.

Start where you can see the signs

Each room guide shows the most useful clues, what to check first, and the solutions that genuinely fit.

Room + symptom + timing = a much stronger clue.

Use all three together before deciding what treatment or product makes sense.
