Hi,

I have a top floor flat in East Dulwich and have had a survey done which indicates that the chimney breast which was removed in one of the bedrooms a long time ago may not be adequately supported. I have contacted a chartered surveyor and now have their report to confirm this is the case, so am looking for a recommendation of a local builder who can rectify this.

If anyone has had similar work done and can recommend their builder, I would be grateful. Also, I am not entirely clear if I need to get the surveyors proposal on how it should be supported signed off by building control as I am trying to provide adequate support rather than take a chimney out, however I am guessing this is probably the case.

Any advice welcome!

Thanks.

- Damp cellar floor is it a problem

  When I had a property with a basement there would often be a pool of water in the centre. I was told it was related to the fluctuating height of the water table in the area (se22) and would not become a problem and the only way to get rid of it would be to get the whole place completely tanked.

  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?
