Would it still be the case if you already have double glazed (albeit really 💩 ones)?
-
Yes we please, also would appreciate a PM with a bit of info on the full refurb as it might be better (and cheaper) to get it all done at once 😊 thanks @6pt and @Señor_Bear

Any recommendations for good alu window fabricators and installers in SE? I think @amey mentioned something recently, any leads appreciated. Also does anyone know of current or upcoming deals for improving old houses energy efficiency?
-
In the long run (if we ever get enough money to do all the house to the right spec) would you recommend going back to original brick and insulating on the inside?

It is definitely pre 1920's, 1907 if I remember correctly. Walls are either English bond or English cross bond (will have to check the neighbours' brick pattern tomorrow to confirm) with one, or several layers, of render accumulated over time... I think I will follow your advice and get a good builder to have a go at the plinths and repair render. I will also will to have a good read about DPC... I must confess I have no f... idea of DPCs

Seeing the survey it seems that, regardless of the damp proofing, we would still have to get a builder to check under the decking and retouch the render. So we wonder if the damp proofing is still worth it. They quoted £2000 for the whole chemical treatment, plasterwork and súper fan (£300 fan!) installation. Quite a lot of reading 📖 but I would appreciate a second opinion

Same question as @underuser53929 had a couple of weeks ago.
Anybody recommend a decent builder in South East London (South Norwood/Crystal Palace/Croydon) area? We need to sort the damp issue plaguing the garden wall.
Secondly if it’s damp problem will a decent builder be a better bet than a damp proofing firm, with the latters having given us a reasonable quote but whose full work might not solve the underlying issues or require to take a whole side of the kitchen down? -
Yes please, will PM
