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.

Are you or your client experiencing

  • Repeated complaints

  • Mould returning after remedial works

  • Conflicting or inconclusive reports

  • Behavioural explanations that fail to resolve the problem

  • Uncertainty over cause, responsibility, or scope of works

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.

Engagement

  • I accept a limited number of instructions

  • Engagements are typically single-property or complex cases

  • I am typically instructed at the pre-litigation or clarification stage.

  • I do not offer free or exploratory consultations

I am instructed by
