The walls are cold and we can see the pattern of the brickwork through the wall due to the damp. A builder friend of ours recommended the CWI to us as a possible remedy. Our loft already gets a lot of condensation too and I know the insulation can make this worse so I need to keep an eye on...

Thanks. Neighbour is happy to have holes if needed, though obviously I will explore other options as well.

Hi, After condensation issues (listed elsewhere on this site) we decided to get Cavity wall insulation from The Mark Group. However, a survey showed that our neighbour has a shed which is far too near to our wall facing their garden (the gap is about 20cm between our wall and their shed) for...

While I think of it, looking at the other windows in the house, some seem to have this same softer silicone strip and others seem to have a smaller harder substance joining the uPVC window to the wall (where I guess a gap would have been). What different substances are normally used and would...

Ok. I've read all the good advice on here already, but my situation is slightly different. I have condensation in the loft, I've had it for 2 years now. At first we called in the original builder who first said we shouldn't be storing anything in the loft then cut the inside with a knife...
