Ventilation Issues - Air Brick Installation


RPK073

Recommended Posts

Hi


I am in the process of doing up my flat which is part of a period property. The bedroom has a bay window and the external wall suffers from excessive condensation (black spores, damp lines on the wallpaper etc). I have been been told it isnt damp and is down to lack of ventilation which the insallation of airbricks should resolve.


A guy came round and quoted me (Ian) who i found on here, but he decided to not bother in the end so Im starting again. Ive had other quote which was pretty extortionate so just wanted someone to come round and sort it out so i can decorate!


Not a big job; may require a covering on the internal wall and air brick but either way it just needs addressing.


Anyone know anyone who can come and sort out would be very welcome!


thanks

Has the wallpaper been up for a long time?

I'm just asking as they used to put it up with flour paste which had no fungicide in it.

My Mum had an issue with an outside wall but once I stripped off all the old paper and paste (I could tell it was flour paste) there's been no reoccurrence of mould, although the wall remains cold.

    • This isn't twenty years hence, this has been happening since the beginning of the millennium.  Brewery and pub chains have been selling off their wet pubs (ie ones that don't do food) and many have closed to be redeveloped as domestic properties.  The MMC report that broke up the power of the big breweries had an unexpected outcome in that it has contributed  to a decline in the number of pubs.  Tastes have changed, we drink less, and  where we do drink this is more often at home.  There is more choice on the telly, and other on screen activities such as what I am doing now. Con is retiring and I hope the Blythe stays loosely the same.  I had a chat with him tonight and will play a song for the bar staff.  I'll keep drinking in the Castle, so hope this continues to trade.
    • I found an Apple Watch near the junction of Woodwarde Road and Beauval Road this afternoon. It may have been dropped by someone jogging on that route. Please pm me if you believe it is yours. 
    • that's uncalled for Probably gets lot's of fresh items we can only dream and wish about having, fresh fruit, veg, cheese, bread, cakes, meat that probably are a whole lot cheaper than some of the rip of merchants on Lordship Lane.  Cheaper and better quality
