Hello,
I have a problem with joists into the party wall under our bath. Having lived in the property for 23 years without any problem, our neighbours house was sold, renovated, rented out... We now have smells coming into our house via the bathroom. Cooking smells (kitchen is on the other side of their house with no extractor fan) and also toilet (cleaner?) smells.
Originally before renovation there was not a loo in their bathroom, it was a separate room as in our house. Now there is a loo next to the party wall.
How on earth can I get to the joists and seal up any gaps as our bath runs along that party wall?
We also had scented candle smells coming into our loft (again from their bathroom) but a can of expanding foam into every hole of the mortared brickwork and between bricks and rafters cured that.
Thanks
Brian
