Hi

I layed an engineered wood flooring for a customer in August. In the last month or so, they have been having damp problems, which did not exist before the flooring change. The edges of the laminate are wet and turning brown in two places, and when one of the door profiles is lifted you can see plenty of moisture.

The floor is a concrete floor which was previously carpeted. I laid clear plastic DPM ...

I have an old victorian house with a box gutter at the front.
The gutter started dripping yesterday after it had snowed quite heavily.
I have never noticed any drips during quite heavy rain so i was wondering if the snow had just melted over the edge.
This has got me a little worried and after some research I am planning to paint the box gutter with either isoflex liquid rubber or
Flexacryl Roof Repair. ...

Hi all. I've got 3 damp patches on a gable end wall, all at upstairs and loft level.
The guttering, soffits and facia boards were replaced last year, with pvc, so I don't think it's caused by leaking guttering and there are no air vents near the damp patches. One is quite big, 3 foot by 3 foot or so, the other two are smaller.
Inside the house, we sometimes get condensation on the windows, ...

Hi all
My house is C1900, suspended floorboard with a 3500mm void. The room in question has an external wall to 2 sides, large open fireplace (not used) and a large PVC window and door and the room is central heated by radiator. A while ago i found large amounts of condensation under the floor and changed half of the joists and some boards. I also added a new air brick. Plus I had the ...

Hello guys this marks has appeared over the last month or so and is slowly extending.

Im assuming it is a damp patch coming from the bay window, flat roof. It just seem odd that it is not on the ceiling but half way down the cornice (i think that the right word)

It feels powdery but not wet.

Hi Everyone.
Ok will try and keep this as short as possible, I'm living in a brick house that I think is quite old. I've been here for 2.5 years (private rented, don't want to mention the owners)

1. I HAVE BUBBLES on the kitchen Walls, Also ...

Hi,

My bedroom wall has got increasingly damp/mould over the past 3-4 months, from nothing to the photos shown. It started at one side - looks like water is dripping down the wall, and feels wet to touch, the other side is now looking the same (water dripping). On this side, my wardrobe is against the wall and I recently found mould on some of my shoes and clothes.

It is worse when it rains. ...
