Hello,
I have a utility room that is wet from condensation, freezing cold to the touch and really drafty with 2 air bricks and a extractor fan! The plaster is all shot and it's only single brick all external walls with an internal door separating it from the bathroom. I assume this may have been a outbuilding back in the day. My question is, how do I fix this as its making the bathroom its joined up to, very cold.
My plan is to knock it back to brick, sand & cement render with a waterproofing agent (SBR) followed by batten, board and skim. Is this sensible? Should i consider adding space for some insulation on the single brick walls to make it a reasonable temperature? Plan is to put a washer and dryer in there.
Thanks,
Joe.
