🌬️💧 Stop Condensation Before It Turns Into Mould! 🦠🚫

You may not see it, but moisture is always in the air — and when that warm air hits a cold surface, it turns into condensation. That’s how black mould starts creeping in on windows, walls, and behind furniture!

Don't let it take over your home — check out these simple tips to keep it at bay:
🛁 Run cold water first before filling the bath (reduces steam by 90%!)
👕 Avoid drying clothes on radiators
🍲 Cook with pan lids on
🪟 Open windows and vents for airflow
💨 Use your extractor fans
🌡️ Keep your home at a steady, recommended temperature
💦 Try crystal moisture traps — cheap and effective!
🧽 Regularly wipe moisture off windows and sills
🕵️‍♂️ Look out for cold spots and damp corners — prevention is key!

✅ Stay ahead of the mould by checking out our website for more details https://www.mtha.org.uk/tenant-area/damp-and-mould/

🚫 Merthyr Tydfil Housing Association stands firm: We will NOT tolerate anti-social behaviour or any form of discrimination — including hate crimes. 💪🏽✨

Did you know?
While national crime stats track five main types of hate crime, we recognise that abuse can also target people because of their age, gender, caste, or lifestyle. Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected in their home and community. ❤️

If you believe you’ve been a victim of hate crime or anti-social behaviour, please speak up and report it — help us keep Merthyr safe for everyone.

You’re not alone. We’re here to support you. 🤝

You Said, We Did: How Tenant Voices are Shaping Real Change at Merthyr Housing

As community-based landlord we value the time and energy tenants give in engaging with us. We have a common goal- to improve their homes and communities and wherever possible promote opportunities for tenants to improve their lives. Tenants have been very vocal on the Associations approach to investing in homes, telling us that some energy improvements are a higher priority than others, and we have listened.

Most of us don’t think twice about small weekly costs – a takeaway, a coffer or a streaming subscription.

But if there was a fire, flood, or theft in your home, replacing every day items like clothes, furniture, children’s toys or a TV could cost thousands.

Contents insurance can cost just a few pounds a week and helps protect the things that make your house feel like home.

It’s not about expecting something bad to happen, it’s about having peace of mind if it does.
