Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me please.
My house was built in 1900 and has a fairly large cellar. I really want to store stuff down there as there really isn't anywhere else in the house to do so.
It is quite damp and there are three air holes which I've unblocked and I'm hoping this will make a bit of a difference. The previous owner of house really didn't look after the cellar at all and I've removed about three bags of loose soil and sand from down there.
Something which is worrying me is that some of the brick work is literally flaking off, is there a good way to fix this sort of thing?
What I'm thinking of doing at the moment is to set up some metal storage holders and keeping everything off the group in sealed plastic boxes. This should be ok right?
I like the idea of tanking but feel this beyond me and the cellar needs all the brick work sorting out before even considering this.
If anyone can offer some advice on what options I have which I could do myself that would be great.
Cheers!
