Help
i moved in the following week and they came round a month later to carry out the repairs,
6 month later the damp came back with a vengeance and i called them back to see what could be done they suggested keeping the window poen when having a shower so as to let the condensation go out,this i did but it was freezing and i have only a wet floor type shower which stays wet for long periods,over a period of three years and innumerable phone calls,waiting in for repairs i could write a book on it !!
the bathroom upstairs was found to be leaking through the ceiling and this caused more damp over a period of a year,also the last tenants had 'bunged up' the air bricks which allowed the extractor fan to extract condensation
now it is still damp and black with mildew and i have had 2 utis becos of it [bad hygiene] i use catheters which must be kept clean,i tried to get a move 5 times but no one wants to exchange and the sha don't want to give me another property what can i do!!!!
i thought that an electric fan that recirculates the warm air would be good but maybe thats too expensive,then again the bath upstairs was leaking and the neighbour did'nt realize because it was dripping into the bath but underneath the pipe was faulty so over a period of a year it was settling on the floor above my bathroom,i pointed this out and they took another 3 months to sort it out,btw i don't know if this fault has developed again cos the ceiling lokks damp again
