Evening All,
I own a Victorian apartment which has some damp issues I am working through fixing. In December we had the walls taken off the front room to resolve some moisture ingress which was down to an old vent not being covered up, this meant moisture and cold air was going down the back of the plaster boards.
This got me thinking that there is the exact same vent in my dinning room and that is suffering similar issues (condensation/cold etc).
Suspect Vent
Inside the vent (you can see the plaster board).
I know old buildings should breath but this seems a little excessive. Does anyone have any ideas how I can can cover this up temporarily to see if it makes a difference and not cause any issues?
Thanks for any help,
Matt
