Badly fitted wall insulation can also make matters worse by creating cold spots. Remember that a lot of homes can get cavity/solid wall insulation for free under schemes such as CERT - just make sure you get a certified contractor (e.g. CIGA for cavity wall insulation) and you're onto a winner!Go Greenahttp://gogreena.co.uk/free-insulation/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588408373722916436.post-90322560019087955322013-05-14T04:29:52.579-07:002013-05-14T04:29:52.579-07:00Hi Gary, This is pretty helpful to me, i work in p...Hi Gary, This is pretty helpful to me, i work in property and often find many homes with these problems, the part 1 of your post was simple and easy to grasp however we have one property that has hardly any furniture, open hallways and windows, and yet some how develops a little condensation and mold in the top corners of the room.

The positioning of an extract fan depends upon the layout of the room and source of moisture.<br /><br />Simply repositioning the existing extract fan or installing a ducted extract solves the problems that the existing extract fan has failed to resolve.<br /><br />Anyone worried about the loss of heat can use a heat recovery fan such as the Silavent ENX series of fans.<br /><br />Yours<br /><br />Arnold E Tarling BSc FRICS MCIArbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588408373722916436.post-61261404843316168392013-02-03T10:28:38.954-08:002013-02-03T10:28:38.954-08:00Hi Gary,
