  • the picture is of the ground floor living room. We have just put a vent in the hallway hoping this will cure the problem.

    We bought the house in October and the plastering was already done. Nobody had lived in the house for a year before.

    I’ve had the windows wide open for the past hour and humidity has dropped from 75% to 55%.

    With us removing the chimney liner and replacing the cowel (hopefully that was the problem) the house will dry out.
    This weather we are having will be great for helping things dry out. Keep the windows open for as long as you possibly can to get the air moving around.
