Damp in cupboards - 13th Jan 2010 8:12pm
The missus lives in a bungalow. For years she's had a problem with damp coming through the cupboards.
One is on the 'outside' of the building, while the other is opposite, in a middle wall of the building. We have also noticed damp (mildew/black horrible stuff) in the corner of the living room behind shelves. The loft is totally dry - what are the common causes of this. I'm thinking maybe the bricks need re-pointing? I haven't a clue (and I'm not getting up a ladder for a few weeks!).
Just had to wash a whole load of clothing due to it, and want to get it sorted. The place is rented.
