Hi,
I am facing an issue with this damp and I am getting to the end of my wits end with this and it is getting very annoying very fast...
I've applied some damp proof paint which hasn't worked, it's still came through, within about 12 hours of applying the chemical on the wall, we've recently had our roof redone, new ventilation ridges, cellotex and repointed with about 15 new tiles, we had some plastic black stuff going to the gutters as well now that had been installed with new wood to hold the tiles and felt also.
We've literally only been in this house for around 8 weeks and this has been the course of it, just a consistent battle with this and it's annoying the hell out of me...
It's not just this part of the wall, the skirting board has started pealing from the wall also, it would seem to be 'rising' damp - but I wouldn't have thought so as the downstairs is absolutely fine and without a problem like the upstairs.
This is our room, my son's room has 'very' tiny spots all over the place.
The roof is damp, I've insulted from advice from the builder, which said we can put as much as we want in as it's so breathable now, he did say it'll take a few weeks to completely dry out the house, though, it's been over two weeks now...
