Hi Guys new to the forum have a problem with a little penetrating damp & or condensation on a cold spot on external wall.
brick built house with cavity wall in the bedrooms and bathroom and down stairs pantry they have air bricks that go all the way into the rooms themselves.
There is also one of these in the living room close to floor level however its been plastered over inside (not by me) and left open outside. this leaves that area of the wall alot colder than the rest leading to the damp/condensation issue just in that 1 spot the rest of the house is ok.
Now would I be better opening it up again, dont want to do that really for keeping the house warm and I dont think its needed as we dont suffer from any other damp spots. or am I ok to brick or seal the outside air brick up?
Thanks in advance.
