Hi,
Hope you can help. My partner and I live in a 1930s single brick end terrace. It has a solid concrete floor, windows have no trickle vents.
In the winter months we have a couple of spots of condensation, it used to be a lot worse but we have improved the heating to the building which helped dramatically as well as keeping certain windows on half lock when possible, again this has proven a big help.
However there is a lack of ventilation in the living room and kitchen and once the heating comes a couple of spots on the wall start to condense, one of which has seen the paint bubble. I was wondering whether a vent in these respective rooms could give the required ventilation to help solve the problem and if so, what kind of vents would be appropriate. Extractor fan in kitchen seems obvious.
I understand air bricks are normally meant for sub floor ventilation.
Suggestions appreciated or if anyone has cured a similar problem themselves.
Thanks
