5 Heron Mould & Damp Report We attended the property following the checkout inspection to assess the reported mould and damp issues. Remedial mould treatment works have now been completed, and at the time of our inspection there were no visible signs of mould remaining within the property. Whilst carrying out these works, we tested the existing extractor fans within the kitchen and bathroom. Unfortunately, neither fan is performing as it should, meaning the property does not currently have adequate mechanical ventilation to effectively remove moisture from these high-humidity areas. To help minimise the risk of mould returning, we recommend upgrading the existing extractor fans to humidistat-controlled fans in both the kitchen and bathroom. These automatically operate when humidity levels rise, helping to reduce condensation and moisture build-up. Aside from improving the property's ventilation, it is also important that the tenant adequately heats the property during the colder months and regularly opens windows throughout both the summer and winter to allow fresh air to circulate. Good heating and ventilation are essential in helping to control condensation and reduce the likelihood of mould returning. Recommendations: Upgrade the kitchen extractor fan to a humidistat-controlled fan. Upgrade the bathroom extractor fan to a humidistat-controlled fan. Ensure the property is adequately heated during colder weather. Encourage regular ventilation by opening windows where appropriate to promote airflow and reduce humidity.
