WET AREAS CONDENSATION - Condensation is common in bathrooms, laundries and sometimes can be seen in bedrooms and the kitchen. It occurs when excess humidity is released on to cold surfaces. To alleviate the condensation open windows and doors and use exhaust fans where applicable. If condensation is allowed to sit on windows and walls mould can occur and cause extensive damage. It is recommended to always use exhaust fans when they are installed and to clean exhaust fans regularly to allow for maximum air flow. If you are having issues with condensation, please refer to the Condensation on Windows and Doors PFD in your handover pack. DOORS – Due to the humidity in wet areas the water can cause doors to swell and change shape. If doors become tight or hard to open or close, then please contact us. TAPS – It is the responsibility of the homeowner to ensure that all taps are cleaned, maintained and serviced or replaced if need be. Please refer to the manufacturers’ guide for cleaning and maintenance information. Under your warranty you are only covered for leaking taps if it is deemed to have been installed incorrectly by the installer. Please check all taps and connections immediately and notify us of any leaks.
