Hi guys, usually im in the electrics uk forum, but i have popped in to building to say hello and ask for some friendly help
my brothers house is a 1950's brick built mid terrace house and has a bad damp problem in the bathroom, I dont think it is rising damp as it is high up on the walls and ceiling.. After having a shower there is condensation running down the walls. There is a extractor fan but it doesnt do much.. The room is always cold, and smells damp, and there is no central heating. They have tried painting etc but no good...
What are the options, would battening off the walls with insulation and plasterboarding, skimming and perhaps eggshell paint and tiles help?
Thank you for all your help!
