Condensation happens when warm, moist air hits cold surfaces – and over time it can lead to black mould, peeling paint and damp smells around your home.

You might notice it more when:
• You’re showering or cooking without using fans or opening vents and windows
• Rooms feel chilly and underheated
• Large items of furniture sit flush against external walls
• Laundry is dried indoors with windows closed

Helpful habits to reduce condensation: Open windows to ventilate your home
✔ Use kitchen and bathroom extractors every time you cook or shower
✔ Keep a low, steady level of heating rather than big temperature swings
✔ Allow air to circulate behind furniture and around radiators

If you’re concerned about persistent condensation or mould, Richardson & Starling can investigate the cause and advise on long-term solutions.

Timber Window Repair: Restore, Don’t Replace

Timber windows are built to last, but over time they can suffer from rot, drafts, and damaged joints. In many cases, repair is a smarter and more cost-effective alternative to full replacement.

Common signs include:
• Soft or crumbling timber around frames and sills
• Peeling paint and exposed wood
• Sticking or difficult-to-open windows
• Draughts, rattling, or water ingress

Richardson & Starling provide specialist timber window repairs to restore performance, appearance, and protection.

A burst pipe makes an immediate mess, but it’s usually spotted quickly.

A small leak, on the other hand, can drip away unnoticed for months - soaking timber, damaging plaster and causing serious rot.

By the time it’s discovered, the damage can be significant.

If you notice any escape of water, even a small one, act quickly.

And if your property has been affected, Richardson & Starling are here to help restore it back to its best. 🤝

When we talk about subfloor ventilation, this isn’t what we mean.

If your foot goes through the floor, it’s a clear sign that something isn’t right.

Woodworm can gradually weaken timber floorboards as the larvae feed within the wood, reducing their strength and durability over time.

It’s a common issue, particularly as we approach the warmer months when wood-boring insects become more active.

Signs to look out for include:

• Small flight holes in timber
• Frass (a fine, sawdust-like material)
• Crumbling or weakened wood

Subfloors and roof spaces are the areas most commonly affected, so these should be checked carefully.

If you suspect woodworm, Richardson & Starling can investigate and provide the appropriate treatment to protect your property.

Worried About Woodworm? Signs vs Next Steps

Woodworm can be easy to miss at first, but the earlier it’s identified, the easier it is to treat and control.

Common signs include:
• New or increasing exit holes in timber
• Dust collecting beneath beams or floorboards
• Timber that crumbles or breaks more easily than expected
• Visible damage to roof timbers, joists or flooring

Next steps:
Richardson & Starling can assess the affected area, identify the cause, and provide specialist treatment where required.

Misty windows, black mould and damp corners are classic signs of condensation – especially when the temperature drops.

Common causes include:
• Hot showers, kettles and cooking without enough ventilation
• Cold surfaces like windows, external walls and ceilings
• Wardrobes, beds and sofas pushed tight against outside walls
• Clothes drying on radiators or clothes horses with little airflow

Simple steps that can help:
✔ Open windows and ventilate your home
✔ Run extractor fans and open trickle vents
✔ Maintain gentle, consistent background heating
✔ Pull furniture a few centimetres away from cold walls

If condensation keeps coming back, it could be affecting your health and your home. Richardson & Starling can assess the issue and recommend effective condensation control solutions.

Moss on roofs is really common across many properties, but leaving it can lead to bigger issues.

As moss breaks away, it can drop into gutters and downpipes and restrict water flow. When rainwater can’t drain properly, it may overflow or back up, increasing the risk of water ingress. In colder weather, trapped water can freeze and expand, which can also put added strain on rainwater goods.

Regular property maintenance, including moss removal and keeping gutters clear, is a simple step that can help reduce the chances of damp, rot, and avoidable repair costs.
