Hello everyone,

I work for a local charity called 'Dulwich Helpline & Southwark Churches Care'. We work to improve the quality of life and the physical and mental health of isolated older residents (aged 60+) in central and south Southwark by providing volunteer befrienders and organising local group activities.

If you have an hour or two to spare each week, especially Monday-Friday daytimes, can commit for a minimum of 6 months, and are interested in helping isolated older people please e-mail us on [email protected], phone us 020 8299 2623 or see our website to download an application form http://www.dhscc.org/volunteering.htm

*Our offices are based at Dulwich Community Hospital, East Dulwich Grove, London SE22 8PT. However, our volunteer opportunities are in the community in central and south Southwark (Dulwich, Sydenham, Herne Hill, Peckham, Nunhead, Camberwell and Walworth)*

- Damp cellar floor is it a problem
  
  By Bumpkin · Posted 8 minutes ago
  
  We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness. I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar. An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?

  Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
