Mould, often caused by condensation, can damage health as well as properties.
It is often found in homes - both new and old - but not only is it horrible to look at it can also be a serious health risk, especially to babies, elderly people and those with problems with skin and lung conditions among others.
While research by B&Q ( diy.com ) found a third (32 per cent) of people in the UK have some form of mould, damp or condensation in their home, nearly two thirds (62 per cent) wouldn’t be able to tackle mould themselves, and one in 10 say they’d do nothing about it – or only deal with it if it got really bad.
