Hi, posting here for traffic.
We have mould in our rented property, had the landlord out before and brickwork needed repointing, a guy came out and did the bare minimum, even I could have done a better and more thorough job then he did, so there's no surprise that the mould still keeps growing.
it's in 3 rooms, the walls and furniture it's growing on are along outside walls. The humidity in the house is ridiculous, so we always have to keep windows open during baths/showers/cooking, and i generally keep them open a little during the day anyway to try and reduce the mould growth.
Anyway the landlord sent another guy around today, this guy said its because this house wasn't built for double glazing! Erm is this correct? Is that what's causing the issue?
There's a tiny plastic vent above the oven in the kitchen and no vent at all in the bathroom upstairs, I feel like these may also be adding to the issue, aswel as the gaps in-between the brickwork outside 🙈
Just checking because I'm going to email the landlord again, because both me and my son have had persistent chest infections earlier this which took multiple courses of antibiotics to clear, so I don't want to get to next winter without the mould being sorted properly.
