Condensation problem in new build - surveyor recommendation


aandl

Recommended Posts

We have a 1 bed ground floor new build and we have a severe condensation problem. The flat is just over a year old and showed no signs of the problem until we moved in. Now water is literally running off the french doors, pooling and making the walls near the door mouldy. WE have had conflicting advice - one that it is a new build and needs to dry out and another that the aluminium windows do not have adequate insulation and so conduct cold air straight to the flat.

We really want to get to the bottom of this - can anyone recommend a surveyor/ damp expert who could give us a straight answer?


Thank you!

    • Hello, I found some keys on Monday morning on Melbourne Grove. The keyring was not Donald Duck though. Could it be another keyring?
    • As a note of recommendation, I did this course in Rye Oak Centre, Peckham and gained so much from it. Was such a lovely, supportive group.
    • Wish they get rid of the tree in Barry Rd adjacent to the Plough, The roots are all over the place, Council re tarmacked them some time ago but makes the pavement uneven. You cannot get a mobility scooter over them as tarmac slopes. Witness a lady with wheelchair trying to get over , in the end her carer had to help over with 2 crutches then push the empty chair over. Also young children using scooters/bikes have fallen off at this point. Hubby spoke to tarmac workers when the work was done and they felt the area was very dangerous to pedestrians and the council should have authorised the removal of both tree and roots. Some prams cannot get over as well. Prior to Christmas, mother/carer with 2 children in double buggy had to walk in road with on coming traffic. We do need trees   I have 2 in my garden - one is well over 50 years old and we have it pollard every few years to prevent it damaging neighbours property.
