Cheers for the information. I'll give that a go. I hope just moving a lot of the junk out of the cellar, old slightly damp wood etc, will help get the air moving and get a bit of moisture out of the air.
I'm tiding up my cellar and some of the white painted brickwork is in need of a spruce up.
It's used mainly for storage so there is a bit of damp in the air down there but mostly pretty dry.
I'm wondering if i need to buy specialist cellar paint or will exterior paint be good for the job...
