February is a critical month for preventing damp problems in your home. Cold weather, increased condensation, and reduced ventilation can all contribute to moisture build-up, especially in older properties.


At B & B Services Ltd, we provide professional damp prevention in Newent and the surrounding areas, helping homeowners identify and resolve issues before they turn into costly repairs.

Why Damp Prevention in Newent Is Essential Before Spring


As winter comes to an end, excess moisture can become trapped inside your home. If damp isn’t addressed early, it can lead to mould growth, damaged plaster, and unpleasant odours.


Newent properties are particularly vulnerable due to seasonal rainfall and colder temperatures, making February the ideal time to act.


Common Causes of Damp During Winter


Damp issues often develop because of:


  • Poor ventilation in kitchens and bathrooms

  • Cracked or worn sealant around windows and doors

  • Blocked gutters allowing water to penetrate walls

  • Minor plumbing leaks


These problems are much easier to fix when caught early.


Improve Ventilation and Airflow


Proper airflow helps reduce condensation and moisture build-up. Extractor fans should be fully working, and trickle vents should remain open where possible.

If ventilation is inadequate, we can assess and recommend improvements.


Seal and Repair Vulnerable Areas


Gaps around windows, doors, and external walls allow cold air and moisture inside. Resealing and minor repairs can dramatically reduce damp risks before spring rain arrives.
