Ventilation Issues - Air Brick Installation

[RPK073]

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.
