What's the difference between damp and mould?
Damp is excess moisture in walls, floors, or ceilings. Mould is the fungal growth that occurs when that moisture, combined with warmth, allows spores to settle and grow. You can have damp without visible mould, but mould usually means there’s a damp problem underneath.
Is black mould dangerous to health?
Black mould (Stachybotrys chartarum) can release mycotoxins that irritate the respiratory system, trigger allergies, and worsen asthma — especially in children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems. Small patches can be cleaned safely; larger infestations should be professionally remediated.
Does a dehumidifier get rid of mould?
A dehumidifier reduces humidity which stops mould from spreading and helps prevent new growth. It won’t kill existing mould — you need to clean that first. But running one consistently is one of the best long-term prevention tools available.
Can I claim compensation from my landlord for damp?
Yes, if your landlord has been notified and failed to act within a reasonable timeframe, you may be able to claim compensation for damaged belongings, health impacts, and rent reduction. Citizens Advice and Shelter can help you understand your options.
How do I stop condensation on windows overnight?
Condensation on windows forms when warm moist air hits cold glass. Keep bedroom doors closed, use a small dehumidifier or moisture absorber, ensure adequate ventilation during the day, and consider thermal blinds or secondary glazing for older windows.
