Damp advice needed please


Morkelmouse

Recommended Posts

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..

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 problem

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

    • Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?
    • Hello, I have your cat!!! I can't find a contact number but mine is 07845 277923.
    • Hi everyone, thanks so much for taking the time to come back on my thread - hearing all your responses has been very helpful.    I’ve tried some of the suggestions you shared about how to improve the connection but they don’t seem to make too much difference so I think we are probably in a dead spot unfortunately. I’ll keep trying though and hopefully it will get a bit better.    Coincidently, I found out yesterday that BT fibre broadband is coming to East Dulwich soon which should much improve the WiFi signal available in the area so I’m planning to switch to that as soon as it arrives. Fingers crossed! If you’re interested to hear how it is, feel free to message me and I can let you know.    Thanks again for all your help!
    • If you want to self cater and do it yourself, why not try one of the rooms in a church..  one I am thinking about has a huge room with kitchen and toilets… parking on site.. and another one worth considering is the church near Dulwich Library , top of Barry Road..  pm if you want more info and of course.. all the pubs on Lordship Lane. if you want further afield, Rosendale Pub has rooms above bar area that you can also hire…  Alleyns Head also good - section off a section of the pub for  your sole use and parking on site.. although,might not work if try want to dance and play there own music. Kingwood House might also be worth considering…
