damp problem

We need some help in deciding what we need to do to solve our condensation problem. Most of it related to some cracks in the outer walls
We are considering two options:
A). Strip all existing paint work, address all the problems related to surface (cracks etc) and get external walls repainted with appropriate coats/paints
b). Strip outside walls to brickwork and apply new plaster appropriate coats/paints
We appreciate the second option would expensive but we want to consider that because it would give us chance to add insulation to outer walls. This bring me to the question of what would be our options to apply insulation to our outer walls?
Appreciate your input
Cheers

Go back to the Edit function in your original post, and I think there is an option for "Go Advanced" (bottom of the Edit window) - click this and it will allow you to access the title bar.0 -
