Marketing & Operations Manager
Helen is Nick’s sister and she successfully set up and established our Lettings Department back in 2013. Having spent much of her career prior to DY working in marketing, Helen now heads up our Marketing & Operations department. This suits her organisational skills, creativity and keen eye for detail perfectly! She loves taking long walks with her Labrador Finn and when time permits, travelling and visiting new places around the globe.
Top of my bucket list is…
To keep travelling, visiting more new countries and ultimately, one day explore Europe in a (very comfortable!) camper van.
My guilty pleasure…
Ben & Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream. Probably best just not to buy it!
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
Less shy/more confident. Still working on it…
If I were a superhero, my superpower would be…
To help find a cure for cancer and dementia. Here’s hoping.
On Sunday morning, you can usually find me…
Up bright and early for a long dog walk in the country.
You might be surprised to know that…
One of my earliest qualifications as a teenager was as a Clarks trained shoe fitter. Ohh, all those back to school shoes!

Condensation is water droplets created by warm air hitting a cold surface. This causes surface dampness which if left unattended, leads to mould growth.
All of us will be familiar with signs of condensation in the home, typically taking the form of little beads of water appearing on windows or tiled walls. However, many will be unaware that condensation is in fact the most common cause of damp problems in the UK.
The good news is that these problems can generally be prevented from ever occurring. Here are some simple tips that will effectively reduce condensation levels in your home.
The key is really adequate ventilation. It is vital to allow the damp and humid air the opportunity to escape outside instead of settling on surfaces in the home. Usually the simplest source of ventilation is to open a window during any task that releases a lot of moisture into the air.
In the colder months of the year we know it can be particularly unpleasant to have windows open for any length of time so make sure your extractor fan is functioning well in the kitchen and bathroom to remove steam and damp air.
