Condensation can be a common problem, especially in older stone built properties. The Gannochy Trust’s founder, A K Bell, recognised the importance of good ventilation in keeping our houses healthy, and the Trust maintained this approach with enhanced passive ventilation designed into our most recent housing development at Camilla Bell Crescent to improve air quality.
