Hi all,
I had a bedroom re-plastered about a year ago. Occasionally we still get the smell of damp plaster. I'm thinking that either water is getting in from the external walls or that the levels of moisture in the room are causing the problem. There are no signs of damp on any of the walls. The room does not appear to have air brick type ventilation - should there be some sort of vent to the outside? Am trying to get a feel for the nature of the problem before taking chunks out of the walls.
