Posting on behalf of a friend... He has finished renovating / building his house. Some cavity walls he rebuilt, the insulation wasn't very good, so where he could he put in new insulation... So, over 3 walls the insulation is "patchy", he said he wasn't fussed as he would get it filled at a...

All the walls are insulated well / correctly. Built the bungalow myself.... I don't mind spending money. I just want to know what to spend my money on ! I don't know what else to do / try....

Our cavity's are 100mm. Filled with new insulation, dont know exactly what Make / sort.... The yellow 'baps' that new builds have... Thanks

We have good / new UPVC windows, new / well insulated walls. The lintels in the most affected rooms are concrete... We do not hang wet washing around the house. Trickle vents in all windows are always open. Both bathrooms have new / good extractors.

Thanks for replies guys.... Woody, if my heating / boiler setup is not ideal, how can I change this to a better setup ? I have read up on condensation and know a lot about it, I posted last week regarding it.... We are doing everything we think we can and there is nothing noticeable wrong...

Hi Frank, Sorry, I don't understand your reply... ?

Thanks for the reply Woody... So, what is a heat recovery unit and why wouldn't I need one ? I thought I read that these are also good for condensation... ? I have read that some PIVs have a heater element in them that can slightly warm the air... Would this be good to help the house not so...

Has anyone any experience with either of these ? Would love any feedback if you have fitted one or something similar. Thinking about something to help with condensation / mould problems... I have a few questions if someone can answer... Would a PIV system make the house feel colder ? Ive...

Magpie16 - Windows were all brand new when we was building... Woody - Windows were put in and sealed with silicon, since then we have recently rendered, so I think all external sealent is good... When you say cut the reveal... what do you actually mean ? take a hammer and chisel and "smash" the...

Hi John D, I must admit the photos are not that good.... The photos look like water marks... That's from when I have rubbed / cleaned the mould it left "marks"... before it was just black mould.... I don't think it can be water penetration... The outside is completely sealed with new render...
