The old DOE / DETR leaflet "Keep your home free from damp and mould" is out-of-print and no longer available. In its absence you may find the information on the Scottish Government Web Site useful.
Is your home damp? Damp can cause mould on walls and furniture and make window frames rot. Damp cold housing encourages the growth of mould and mites, as mites feed on moulds and can increase the risk of respiratory illnesses in some people.
Some damp is caused by condensation.
This leaflet explains how condensation forms and how you can keep it to a minimum, so reducing the risk of dampness and mould growth.
