Thanks mate, definitely going to get trickle vents sorted and I'll keep windows open aswell, will try this above method to get fresh air moving through and old out... cheers mate

Thanks for responding, very helpful. I'd it possible to add trickle vents to current windows? Also doors are a bit tight especially at the bottom so may remove and plane for a good gap. Getting a ln oil radiator for the hall so there's some heat. The fan for the bathroom there is none although I tend to keep the window open and bathroom door closed, especially while taking a shower...is this good enough as if like to try the rest out before adding bathroom fan, just be a pain to install and the height of the building too etc.

Sorry there was one trickle vent in one of the windows but looks as if it was added...is it possible to add a trickle vent to a window?

Hi guys, looking for some help here. I love in a top flat, my rooms have some signs of mould/damp on them(see pictures, hopefully they uploaded). All the walls the mould forms on are the internal walls of the external end of the building. Looking to renovate I.e paint, coving etc but I'd rather stop the mould/damp. Any ideas?? I have placed some cheap dehumidifiers around, will a plug in one at a better quality be a good idea? Also windows have the trickle vents open all the time for air flow. Will adding some heat to the house help this? Cheers guys, hopefully get some tips.

Mould inside bedroom probably caused by water streaks from the gutter/roof. Best way to treat after gutter area inspected and fixed? Any special Paints or damp proof seals recommended?

Back of building gutter isn't attached to down pipe

Front of building. See the water streaks from gutter... potentially blocked or not flush to the slates.

So I've had a look at the outside walls...front and back, what you guys reckon for the cracks? I see one of the bedroom walls has a bit of mould in the corner and can see water streak marks from gutter outside so that solves that, also see gutter at back of building isn't attached so will get on this. But for cracks any ideas guys? Been told to scrape away excess and fill the cracks with toupret flex then sand as they say this will cope alot more with movement in the building. (See comments for pics...)

New to the app mate, I put them in the comments if you scroll up you will see them

I'll get a picture of outside walls Tomo mate. These pictures tho...one with the skirting board showing is a partition wall separating living room from hall. Other pic is living Room and external building wall to the left of it and to the right the neighbouring flat

It's a flat but he's top flat, that's what I plan to do see about anything blocking gutters etc, tbh I think the damp can be ruled out had another look tonight but appreciate the feedback about movement. Any tips to dealing with it? You reckon Render mesh would help and once blended in at least be more hidden that the eye sore that's there?

I also noticed the walls look a different shade so Mabey it's to do with damp? I don't know tho

Brother recently bought his first house so just going to give rooms a lick of fresh paint for now but living room has a few cracks at top of wall just below ceiling (will post pics in the comment section). Looking for reasons as to why this happened and how to treat...was thinking scrape of loose paint, apply bonding plaster with render mesh, then top coat multi finish plaster and blend it into existing plaster? Any other suggestions welcome.
