Can anybody suggest a sum that would be reasonable for this job as a
"little extra" for someone who is already on site with all of the right
kit?Â* It is on the first floor so if it cant all be done from inside
work will have to be done from a ladder.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.


Stitch drilling doesn't take too much effort, even with 2x brick cavity.
I had to knock one through in a hurry for an extra vent prior to getting
a solid fuel stove installed.

Personally I would ditch the tumble drier for a condensing one. Free
heat and no messy hoses.

I tend to agree. You can get a condenser type for as little as £250 and
half the year, the waste heat is doing something useful.

£500 gets you a heat pump type so maths time to see what the payback
period would be on the extra £250.

We did.

A significant percentage of the water from the clothes ends up in the
room. For some reason I don't understand it sucks in cold air from the
room, heats it, dries it a bit, and blows it back out. Still warm (40?)
and saturated.

It's ended up in my workshop, and I either run an extractor or a
dehumidifier to save the tools.

Reading a Which? report a few years back suggests they all do that. Why
don't they send the same air round and round?

Strange - I cannot say I noticed much humidity from my old Bosch
condenser which was ancient.

My Miele Washer/Dryer sends nothing into the room that I can tell.

I'm not aware of any moisture from mine. The only humidity is if I check
midway where I can see steam escaping with the door open!
