Thanks for the replies. Neighbour not interested, so that's not going to happen. As far as he's concerned it's behind his fence, so it doesn't bother him. (lI'm sure he'd be interested if it did go...) I can't really afford to get anyone in at the moment - spent out on sorting the house out so...

Not 100% this is the right place but hopefully someone can help. New house - just getting to the back garden. Need to replace the fence all round and come across a little problem with one side and not sure what to do. I've attached and image to try to make things a bit clearer. Our garden...

Well it's been 3 days for the tiling now and there was still half of 1 wall to do, where both of the windows are. (and he's fully tilled on wall that we needed to chase some cables into for the lighting...). Still, I had a little bit of a moan and he said he only did half a day yesterday -...

Hi - not sure if this is the correct place for this, apologies if it's not. We've had someone re-doing our bathroom and it's been going really slowly - but that might just be me so I thought I'd check here. Bathroom is approx 6' x 8' (8' high), one door, two small windows, walls have...

Sure - I'm aware of that it's not to cure a problem - just to help dry things out quickly. Problems are being taken care of separately. Currently got dehumidifier running in the worst affected room (door and windows shut) and it's consistently pulling out about 3 litres over a 24 hour...

I appreciate that ventilation is key - but it's cold! If it was summer, I could simply open everything for a few months. But I can't, we still need to be able to live in it as comfortably as possible. I've happy to shut some areas off (worst affect ones) and use a dehumidifier. Can't really...

I'm just looking for the quickest way to dry everything out - will be fixing all the issue causing the damp.

Move in tomorrow! All central heating, highly likely that there's water under the floor boards and all extractors are broken - for a while by the looks of it. Looking forward to it...

Hadn't thought of ebay - seen a couple already. Just out of interest, I've just been thinking, how noisy will an industrial dehumidifier be? The place is open plan we need to live there. Also - is it safe to leave running while I'm at work?

Summer I get - but even in the winter? That's why I was leaning towards a dehumidifier.

Yes - I think the paths are that the main issue - above DPC and funnelling water into the air bricks - they're coming straight out next weekend (moving in this weekend) - breaker is already booked. Floorboards in the bedroom (one of the worst affected rooms) have buckled up due to the...

How's the air brick situation? Well... I can see them, just! Someone has left some handy funnel-shaped holes down to the air bricks, through the concrete paths that have been laid either side of the property. This same path is about 10mm - 50mm above the DPC for the entire length of the house...

ok, the property isn't vacant, there's currently one person living there who has added things like a new kitchen, but has never bothered to sort the problems out... It's a 1960's detached bungalow on the south coast - honestly I'm not great on construction but it seems like pretty traditional...

Hi all, been lurking for a long time but could actually do with some specific advice. Very much a novice but about to get stuck in. I'm literally just about to complete on a 3 bed, detached bungalow and the place has a damp problem that has built up over a long time. We're going to sort the...
