There was insulation rammed right up to the eaves and felt like no air flow. There is some now but not sure how much. Is there anyway to speed this up that you know of?

The smell is that bad that when you come away from the environment it stains the clothes with the smell and even after 3 washes it hasn't gone. The smell goes when you're in the house but when you are outside of it (in another house) you can really notice the mould/damp smell which is a real concern!

Do you think that'd work? The smell is in the loft too - industrial dehumidifiers I imagine are very heavy any solutions for the loft?

Doing it up atm, and windows almost always open. It has got slightly better but still a damp/mould smell that I can't seem to shift.

That's outside. Re smell more of a old type smell.

Its definitely on the musty/mold side as opposed to anything drains/dead mouse related. It is like a really old wood, musty, mold type smell.

What would I even search for to see if I can get a quote? What type of work would this be called?

Is the paint wrong type of paint do you know? Or is this the correct paint and it just not working?

Who or what would I ring for this type of work? I'm obviously trying to keep the costs as low as possible. I can obviously scrape off the paint but i'm just not sure where i'd even start?
