The most common cause of everyday damp
Condensation Specialists in Bedford
Condensation is the most common cause of everyday damp and mould in homes. It happens when moist air meets a surface cold enough to reach dew point. Procure Group Ltd assesses the factors involved and recommends practical control.

The science, in plain terms
Condensation is a balance between how much moisture is in the air and how cold the surfaces are. The key factors are:
- Relative humidity in the room
- Dew point of the air
- Surface temperature of walls, windows and reveals
- Cold bridging where heat escapes
- Extract ventilation in kitchens and bathrooms
- Background ventilation across the home
- Heating patterns and how the home is warmed
- Moisture production from cooking, washing and drying
- Occupancy and daily routines
- The building fabric itself
How we help
We take psychrometric readings — humidity, surface temperatures and dew point — to understand where and why condensation is forming. From there we recommend proportionate measures, which might include improving extract and background ventilation, reducing cold bridging, or warming vulnerable surfaces.
The aim is realistic, workable control of the conditions, not a single product sold as a cure-all.
