Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. It’s a roof directly above, it curves down. It only seems to be this room. My decorator suggested it may be lagging which is stopping circulation however we both had a look and it’s not causing a blockage. A few suggestions been mentioned and up for grabs: - Do...

Dear Forum, Seeking your advice regards to some streaking on a wall which is the back bedroom facing north. Can’t be certain how ling the issue has been there but was noticed several weeks after the room had been painted. As shows in the pictures the streaks run across the length of the wall...
