proper ventilation
proper heating
dehumidifier
insulation

im generalising becasue i dont know your situation.

most damp and mildew is caused by either lack of heat or lack of ventilation. sometimes cold bridges or rising damp.


people dont open windows enough.
make sure you have a proper vent in the wall and its open . not blocked with tissue . make sure there is actually a hole behind the vent cover:eek:

what do you mean by gas radiator. have you a gas burner heating the central heating. or one of those yokes that you conect a gas bottle to.
gas heating in a room is very bad for creating damp.

have you used an industrial dehumidifier or a crapy little domestic one. hire in a proper one for a week or two to get on top of the problem. the small ones are only for a small leak not for a lot of constant damp.

what temperature is the room when the dehumidifier is on. they only work at certain temperatures.

if there is no inulation you will get the warm wet air condensing on the cold wall. the insulation will keep the cold away from the warm air

i read this is only on one wall.

Sorry Pen

its an extension built about 20 years ago downstairs,
its a wall which has two french doors in the middle and it seems to be half way down the wall

its gas central heating
its concrete its plastered

its a flat roof with that silver top , facing east


was a new roof put on about 7 years ago there is a part were there is a wooden box frame goes around the roof and i have noticed that the wood is looking a bit worn

im not very well up in this Diy

is the wall a cavity wall or solid

is the cavity pumped and with what



do you get condensation on the doors

torrevieja

im nearly sure its cavity

no its not pumped i did have that complete insulations out before and got the attic insulated with the foam

they did the pump ( small beads) in the house outer walls but he could not do the extension hadn't got the channels

i do get condensation on doors especially if cooking

the_pen_turner

what do you mean they didnt have chanels
have you an extractor fan in the kitchen

torrevieja

yes i have a fan in the kitchen

thats what the guy told me he could not do the extension this is a room of 8x6

the_pen_turner

is this the same room you are talking about in the other thread.

i can ony assume that there is no cavity for them to fill.
check the wall temp and compare to the pumped walls


you are probably looking at dry ling the interior walls

Hi again folks I'm trying to get an adhesive for insulation roll I seem to have a choice if 2 one is all purpose wall covering adhesive and one is multi purpose coving and tiling adhesive home base which should I get

M.T.D

Insulation on rolls tends to be fairly impervious to water as well. So if your wall is damp already then water based adhesives, e.g. paste will take a very long time to dry if ever. If you use a waterproof adhesive that works on damp surfaces you will probably never be able to remove the insulation except by chipping the plaster off as well.
If the wall is bare plaster and assuming it is just condensation, and not damp coming through the wall, get the wall well dried, no cooking, heating on, dehumidifier, windows open for ventilation etc. for several days and once wall is dry use the paste.
If the wall is painted with a water impervious paint then paste will never dry and you would be better gluing insulated panels to the wall rather the insulation on a roll.
