Condensation isn’t a problem just reserved for winter, but it is more prominent in the colder months.
When damp air comes into contact with a cold surface, or enters a cold room where the dew point is lower, condensation occurs as water vapour turns into droplets. If this continues without drying out, mould forms.
While moist air occurs in warm parts of the house, it will often move to colder areas, such as bathrooms and bedrooms, and condense there. So, try to limit water vapour or steam in the air. Have shorter showers, use an extractor fan in the bathroom and vent clothes driers to the outside. Once condensation is controlled as much as possible, clean the mould with anti-mould solutions, then paint with mould resistant paint.
