My parents live in a bungalow with 9 inch solid walls. They have double glazed windows and central heating. As they are in their 80's the bungalow is relatively warm.
The walls in most rooms attract mould on the outside walls. When this is cleaned off the walls are almost wet. I assume this is condensation.
I was going to attempt to cure this by having airbricks installed to each room. My parents are against this because of drafts and insects! Just to test my theory, which basically increases ventilation, I was going to test it by trying to get them to open the windows more regularly.
Anyone have any better ideas ?

Colin
