@renovationgroup1983 Thats the trouble with most of these landlords, they want the rent money but are not prepared to get to the route of problems and just get quick effectless 'non' fixes. Yes appropriate ventilation is important but will never fix a bad damp issue. Councils are one of the worst for inserting vents and useless fans in almost every room.
@roncatton7101 this has fixed the route of the problem tho mate, the route of the problem is poor ventalation so this is what ive installed, the thing to remember about damp proofing is to identify the issues, is it condensation, rising damp, pentrating, dry rot etc, this property was not ventalated at all so the building sweats and then causeds mould build up etc, its ok installing a PIV but what happens if theres a power cut that lasts a long time or what happens if the tenent just flicks the switch and turns the piv off? The way ive done this job will 100% get rid of damp problem
@@togsy5901 thats always an option but still requires an electrian and most likly plastering afterwards, and the mould still needed cleaning and the thermal paint was still needed, i get what your saying tho
@renovationgroup1983 it's what you're comfortable with doing i guess. A piv is straight forward to install yourself, or an hours work for a sparky. Cut the correct size hole in the the ceiling so no plastering is required. Any existing mould would still need to be cleaned regardless.
End up letting bit more noise inside and draughts. Easier to just leave odd ones on safe lock now and then.
@@roncatton7101 the landlord wanted the damp and mould removing as quick as possible for the tenants, i felt this was the best way to get it removed

A PIV would do the same thing but with less effort in install.
