Your home extension might look incredible, but is it actually making your home healthier? Every week I inspect properties where well intentioned alterations have unintentionally created problems that affect the people living there. Poor ventilation, cold bridging, trapped moisture, overheating, inadequate natural light and poor design can all contribute to damp, mould, poor indoor air quality and discomfort. A home should support your health, not work against it. Whether you’re planning an extension, converting a garage, knocking through walls or renovating an older property, it’s important to think beyond how it looks. Consider how the changes will affect temperature, moisture, airflow, daylight and the overall wellbeing of everyone living inside. The best homes are not just beautiful. They are healthy. As The Wellbeing Surveyor, my goal is to help people create homes that improve wellbeing rather than unknowingly causing harm. #TheWellbeingSurveyor #HealthyHomes #HomeRenovation #BuildingHealth #PropertyAdvice
