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.

    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
