DAMP, CONDENSATION AND MOULD WORKSHOPS
Our Damp, Condensation and Mould workshops provide practical knowledge and advice to help social housing residents prevent and manage common issues in their homes. Through interactive sessions, residents will learn about the causes of damp and mould, how to reduce condensation, and effective ways to maintain a healthier living environment.
These workshops are designed to not only improve home conditions but also promote independence and well-being, giving residents the tools they need to take control of their living spaces. Delivered in partnership with housing providers, they also foster stronger community relationships and shared learning experiences.

issues such as ventilation, heating, and good housekeeping, which was the perfect complement to our existing ‘STAR’ campaign for tenants.”

Various Residents | Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust
“Keeping tenants safe is our number one priority, and we were delighted to have the opportunity to offer places to Berneslai Homes tenants on the training session hosted by Efficiency North. The focus was on empowering tenants to proactively identify, prevent, and tackle damp-related problems. During the training tenants were shown how to identify the signs of damp and condensation at an early stage, and what practical steps to take to prevent further issues such as ventilation, heating, and good housekeeping, which was the perfect complement to our existing ‘STAR’ campaign for tenants.”
Arturo Gulla | Executive Director of Property Services, Berneslai Homes
“I’ve been implementing everything into my everyday life – I always open my blinds at the window and make sure to let in the daylight to warm the room up and open doors and windows. One important thing I learnt is that not heating the house properly, because of the cost of rising energy bills, actually does more harm than good. Now, I keep my heating on a low temperature constantly – rather than knocking the thermostat up and down all the time – that’s helped massively. I’ve not seen any signs of the mould coming back since the workshop.”
