Damp on gable end wall - condensation..? What solution
Hi all
Been a while since I've posted - only seem to come back these days for advice.. so please be gentle! I've got an old house - built in 1880 - and while decorating (he is downstairs as I type), we have found damp patches on a gable end wall - at low level in the living room. It seems to match areas where furniture has been up close - although there is also some around a chimney breast - and some in the corner of the room (no furniture there). We've dug into the plaster with chisels and it doesn't seem damp inside - which is odd. The room doesn't get much use - has had new double glazing and one of these plastic coating renders applied in the last 12 months. The decorator thinks it isn't rising damp (the concrete floors are dry - and the skirting is fine) - but I'm not sure. I've got rentokil and http://www.schrijverdampcontrol.co.uk/index.php coming in this week to have a look. Any thoughts...? Thanks in advance Simon |
