Not only does having damp in your home make for a less pleasant living environment but it can also lead to health problems.
The experts said to avoid this you must switch off your heating and radiators at night.
With the cold weather upon us and the met office warning 80mph winds will blast the entire country – whacking on the heating seems a tempting option.
However, not only will this rack up a huge energy bill, but “it can also cause nasty coughs, a stuffy nose and even foot swelling”.

Having the heating on overnight is likely to increase the risk of mould forming on the walls due to trapped moisture in the air.
The experts are advising that bedrooms should have an optimum temperature of between 17 to 19ºC.

“While many of us like to heat our bedrooms so we can get to sleep comfortably, we want to urge people not to keep the heating on throughout the entire night.
