Hi all.
I have an an end of terrace rental house that is suffering from mould. had it inspected and one of the suggestions was to provide additional ventilation into the cavity of the exposed end wall. Happy with that, fixing a couple of airbricks in the outer leave is not beyond me.
They also suggested additional ventilation into the house via airbrick. Bit more complicated, so I'll use a cavity sleeve as well.
Quite alot I have read indicates I need a cavity tray fixed over the sleeve. So a couple of questions:
> Is this really necessary?
> Never fitted one before, I am assuming that that the tray is fitted immediately above the airbrick by taking out the two bricks above?
Any advice greatly appreciated!
