Hi, my family and I live in a nice semi detached house built approx 1935, we moved in Oct last year just in time for the bad winter. We have found the hall/stairway wall to be really really cold to the touch most of the time, putting the heating on helps a little but it takes a long time to have a effect.
Worse still the wall is also against my son's room and it is real chilly in the mornings. I am worried about his overall health as a result.
The wall has been cavity filled but I do not think it has helped, this was done a while ago by the previous owners. There are air bricks in the top corner of this wall as well as the botom, there is also a covered vent in his room.
Could the temperature be caused by the air bricks? There is also a double glazed window in this wall, this feels to be leaking cold air in noticable with the heating on and walking past with no tshhirt on (first thing in the morning).
I would really like to know how to cure whatever is causing this wall to be so cold, it's costing me a fortune in gas too.
Is there something that I can do or a professional someone I can employ to help?
Thanks.
