Re: Condensation ? ?
That sounds bad - however, does the flat have adequate ventilation? Condensation can build up with showering/bathing, drying washing on radiators and not opening windows. My daughter found this out after she had a damp proof specialist visit who found there was nothing amiss with her flat, no rising or penetrating damp.Re: Condensation ? ?
perhaps Social Services could be of help Patsy? I'd put in an official complaint to the Management and let them know you will take it further if they don't address the issues raised, it doesn't mean you have to but if they think you will do so then they may sit up and take noticeRe: Condensation ? ?
It may be as they say condensation, some flats here suffer badly unless they open windows to ventilate there is little anyone can do for them. Increases cost of heating of course but does take care of the damp.Re: Condensation ? ?
Condensation is caused mainly by the lack of ventilation Patsy. In draughty old houses you never got it very much, but now our buildings can be so well sealed that the moisture generated by our lifestyles cannot be carried away naturally, hence things get damp and mould thrives upon it. I would suggest therefore that the easiest solution is to allow some fresh air to flow through the affected rooms as often as possible to dry the areas out naturally which would deprive the mould of the conditions it needs to thrive.... and the best part is that it doesn't actually cost anything....Re: Condensation ? ?

Re: Condensation ? ?
Patsy, the worst condensation problem I ever had was in a new house. It was so bad the builders, a pretty big company, had to come back and put more vents in the airing cupboard and the roof space. I lost several pieces of clothing due to the black mould. The floor also had a problem- I would never buy a new build again.Re: Condensation ? ?
