Healthy Homes and Beyond IAQ

09/08/2026

A lot of loft‑upgrade companies are currently pushing “healthier home” messaging across social media, and I’m seeing the consequences of it inside real properties. Homes that were completely stable for years are suddenly developing moisture issues, odours, symptoms and indoor air quality changes after these installations go in. The marketing looks convincing, but the outcomes tell a very different story.

I’ve written a full breakdown explaining what’s actually happening, why these problems are appearing, and what people need to understand before agreeing to any loft work. If you own a home, work in housing, construction, surveying or environmental health, this is worth reading.

What I’m seeing from clients and what I’m seeing across the entire digital landscape My last case study reached 11,250 people and since then, the same story has been landing in my inbox, my messages and my client bookings over and over again. Homeowners who lived comfortably for years suddenly d...

Most people see dust.
I see the moment my life changed forever.
For years, I was told I was wrong.
I was told I was worrying too much.
I was told there had to be another explanation.
Meanwhile, my daughter was becoming increasingly unwell.
What followed cost my family more than I can ever put into words.
A childhood.
A career.
Financial security.
Friendships.
Faith in the very systems that were supposed to be there to help us.

Today I've written the most personal article I've ever shared.
Not about indoor air quality.
Not about housing.
Not about mould.

About survival.
About trauma.
About being dismissed.
About why Healthy Homes & Beyond IAQ exists.

And about a promise I made when my family finally reached safety.

If you've ever been made to feel like your lived experience didn't matter, this one's for you.

Thank you Sounddelivery Media, for giving me the opportunity to share my story and giving me the confidence to stand up and let my voice be heard. I am truly honoured to be a part of the 2026 cohort.

New Case Study Published | When a 9-Year-Old Home Became Uninhabitable

A homeowner lived comfortably in a modern property for more than two years without issue.

Following loft boarding and insulation works, symptoms developed which ultimately resulted in the occupant leaving the property while investigations were undertaken.

The findings challenged many of the assumptions commonly made about unhealthy homes.

The investigation identified:

• Elevated formaldehyde levels
• Elevated VOC concentrations
• Construction-related particulate contamination
• Underperforming extract ventilation
• No significant mould contamination

This case study explores the importance of looking beyond isolated symptoms and adopting a whole-house indoor air quality approach that considers building materials, ventilation, particulate load and environmental exposure together.

It also highlights why material selection matters and why we should be paying greater attention to the indoor environmental impact of building and retrofit works.

I hope this contributes to the growing conversation around healthier homes and evidence-based indoor air quality assessment.

I am so happy today, we have been supporting a truly inspiring man with his Indoor Air Quality, highest levels of formaldehyde I have ever seen. Praise to him for his resilience and determination. It all goes to him, he has worked so hard with our support to get his beautiful home back to a healthy, safe condition. He has been an absolute inspiration and it has been an honour to support him over the past few months.

What a lovely Sunday afternoon. No work, just family time, sunshine and chilled vibes. ❤️

What is that!! Hidden behind an electric fireplace! No grille…. Dirt and debris from the chimney!! Hidden until someone makes it visible. Poor workmanship, no consideration for occupant health.

You never know what is hiding in spaces that you cannot see or get to… Until someone comes and opens it up!!
This is not ok! No grille, dirt and debris from the chimney into your living space! A pathway for air and moisture, with the perfect ecology this could have been a breeding ground for severe mould growth!!
