Nigel H. Martin

Independent Hygrothermic Consultant

I provide independent causation analysis for complex mould outcomes and condensation-driven environmental failure, where standard surveys and remedial works have not resolved the issue.My work focuses on understanding how heat, moisture, air movement, and building fabric interact at a system level, and why homes continue to exhibit mould and condensation despite repeated intervention.I am typically instructed where outcomes are persistent, disputed, or poorly explained by defect-led models, and where clarity over cause and proportionate resolution is required.

How I work

Independent site investigation
System-level analysis of heat, moisture, and air movement
Clear, defensible causation reporting
Practical, proportionate recommendations
Analysis focuses on dominant drivers and system behaviour, rather than compliance-led attribution.

Conquering Mould

Conquering Mould is an independently developed technical work examining condensation-driven mould through applied building physics and field-based investigation.It underpins my consultancy approach and reflects the framework I use when assessing complex or persistent cases.

It is not a training or CPD publication and is shared selectively with professionals.
