DAMP WALL REPAIRS WARWICKSHIRE SO MUCH MOULD. WHY?

[@andybrown169]

At a guess, no ventilation and the outside has been repointed using cement and not lime mortar.

[@roythunderplump]

Great to see how you have solved the issues. Be a real home again when done.

[@baldyslapnut.]

The daylight at the frames is the FENSA approved trickle venting.🙄 We had some fitted and I told them don't do any finishing I'll do it propely myself after insulating the jambs etc. Just got them to leave a load of trim and a box of mastic since they'd priced it in.

Cut nails boss standard fixing for the last few hundred years for us chippy’s..that’s a lot of mould for sure 👍

[@user-nx8ii4ef7f]

Crucifix nails sounds better though.

[@markmcgrath4853]

good work look forward to see how you correct the damp issues in the next video !

[@lhfloors]

That was the window fitters air vents 😅

[@HarryBates-xb6py]

Literally got an original ceiling without an ounce of mould and you’re gonna board over it? Modern materials cause mould. Use lime plaster in old buildings.

[@HarryBates-xb6py]

You can see the room has been skimmed in gypsum plaster. Gypsum is not breathable and is conducive to mould growing. Lime plaster is breathable and regulates the humidity in the room. Due to the PH, mould cannot grow on lime plaster either.

Spot on

[@trevorlong8145]

Done a lot lime plastering lately and love it

Refreshing someone actually understands how buildings work. The number of videos I've seen where builders simply blame cement based pointing.

[@user-nx8ii4ef7f]

Now we can see what a good workman does, how the hell do we find one ourselves??

[@Schinney]

Really informative, and a great video, it would be good to know a rough price as I have no idea, it looks a messy project and expensive ?

[@Hew.Jarsol]

Everyone slags off gypsum but my house 1850s has it, and it has no issues except penetrating damp with damp spots. It breaths fine. Strange.

[@leewatson6706]

Where is part 2? Good clear information

[@zaxmaxlax]

Waiting for part 2

[@robbennett9631]

Scraping all that mould without a dust Mask and without treating with a fungicidal wash 😮

[@dsuse3949]

i dont understand why the window fitter leaves a small gap and its a huge problem... yet you add vents to the windows and its the best thing in the world ???

[@onefortheroad1]

Were those bricks just sat on the upvc window?

[@Lord-Brett-Sinclair]

more addictive you tube content.

[@TooMuchInfoSir]

Is there a cavity on this one?

[@LeeTillbury]

I know them as cut nails

[@TrevorCoe-zw8fo]

Will you be installing ventilation as theres no trickle vent.

[@TheDoosh79]

There looks to be a couple of trickle vents at the top of the two outer windows. Also got natural trickle vent from not being sealed in around the frames 😂

[@TrevorCoe-zw8fo]

@@TheDoosh79 no trickle vents, he said that, so they should install some form of ventilation in part 2 🙏

[@TheDoosh79]

@@TrevorCoe-zw8fo You can literally see them lol

[@TrevorCoe-zw8fo]

​@TheDoosh79 at 1 minute 30secs he says there is no trickle vents, not sure what your watching 😁

[@TheDoosh79]

@@TrevorCoe-zw8fo Never mind what he says, look at 4:44 you can clearly see two trickle vents

[@kevocos]

You shouldn't be installing PIR on external solid walls.

[@SDRobertsPlastering]

Is that right? Where would you put them?

[@kevocos]

@@SDRobertsPlastering PIR used on solid external wall sets up prime conditions for interstitial condensation? The best way to eliminate that risk is to used a naturel fiber insulation material. Calculate where the dew point has moves to in this buildup with PIR..

[@SDRobertsPlastering]

@@kevocos Interstitial condensation is caused when IWI systems are installed incorrectly or on walls suffering with penetrating damp. I've been doing this a long time. Air tightness is important. The new dew point will be the glass on the window hence why proper trickle vents are advised. Natural fibre insulation is an option for lime built properties

[@kevocos]

@@SDRobertsPlastering You calculate that the dew point in the wall buildup is the glass on the window? In that case I don't think I have anything more useful to add.

[@SDRobertsPlastering]

@@kevocos If we're being honest about it you never had anything useful to add to begin with. If you want to be useful go and make some content of your own and stop trolling me. 👍
