Morkelmouse Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hello - I have a damp problem in the upstairs bedroom under the windows. I have tried everything to sealing the windows, checking the roof etc and now need someone to 'diagnose' where the leak is. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in anticipation.Sorry I forgot to say, does anyone have any suggestions for an expert in the area who could come and have a look..

JimiSayo Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 An expert, in my opinion, is Angela Lyon, she's based in Streatham and has been Chartered Building Surveyor and Chartered Quantity Surveyor surveyor for the best part of 40 years. She has a lot of experience in damp solutions and also serves as an expert witness, although that latter bit may not be applicable to you unless someone else is responsible for the problem0208 679 6363[email protected] Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/89402-damp-advice-needed-please/#findComment-946527 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morkelmouse Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Thanks all for replying. I'm not sure what you mean by what sort of windows, but they are plastic, double glazed.

Charl70 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Check your outside cills aren't letting water in, meaning they haven't got a decent fall on them so water can run away , also when windows where put in they may have been made good with bonding which will act like a sponge and cause moisture and damp into the house Regards Dave Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/89402-damp-advice-needed-please/#findComment-947230 Share on other sites More sharing options...
