Hi everybody
I have an early 1900’s terrace house with an extension. When we bought the house we found out the extension never had planning permission blah blah blah the usual house buying stuff.
However, the extension was slammed to floor. We have to step down into the extension. This means the all airbricks at the rear of the property end inside the house, and right next to a heat and moisture creating kitchen.
We also have exposed floor boards in the main house. Rough estimate floor is raised about 20 cm.
Good airflow is becoming a problem and we’re starting to notice a dampy smell on certain days.
We can’t redirect any airbricks at the rear to go sideways. We can’t raise the floor height of the extension.
Any bright ideas around getting good airflow under the floor. Open to passive or active solutions.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

P.s neighbour has underfloor heating and when he jacks that up the smell is worse.
