Hi all,
We have recently moved in to a house. The survey said the ground floor is riddled with damp - though I have my suspicions. The wallpaper feels like it has been wet (sort of stiff) and is cold, but nothing is wet, no watermarks or anything. There has been no remidial work.
However, condensation literally pours off every window in the house (which are single glazed uPVC), causing mould around the frames. The exception is one double glazed window downstairs, which is fine.
Opening all the windows does a good job of stopping the condensation but obviously the house gets incredibly cold.
The upstairs bathroom is the exception - condensation literally runs down the walls after a shower and causes mould patches everywhere, regardless of leaving the window open.
We do use the radiators to dry clothes.
So my question is, do you think there is a damp issue or ventilation issue? I want to sort the problem, but want to make sure I go the right way about it. Not sure if it makes any difference but the walls are solid stone (it's a traditional welsh valley house).
Thank you!
