Damp advice needed please

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

    • It's also possible that someone is hand feeding foxes and encouraging them by this to approach others. I have heard of foxes attacking young children (if only anecdotally) but not adults. They do seem to attack cats. 
    • I've noticed the foxes are very frisky at the moment, it's mating season. Perhaps it was a male fox who saw you as a danger to his vixen and wanted to see you off.
    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
