Thermal up‐grading, condensation and mould growth at a ‘no fines’ estate

Abstract

During September 1986, several local authorities in the Merseyside area were contacted and asked if it would be possible to carry out a survey and investigation of council dwellings which had suffered from condensation and mould growth, and which had also had remedial measures carried out. An invitation was received from West Lancashire District Council to carry out a survey at the Tanhouse 4 site in Skelmersdale. Several owner‐occupied ex‐council dwellings on the same estate were also to take part.
