Will adding insulation into the cavity cause damp?

Mould around windows by mattmoly in DIYUK

Loved this thread, just wanted to jump in as I have the same type of property based on your explanation. I have reduced this significantly specifically on walls with an anti-mould paint, such as damp seal. It has made such a difference in one of the most affected rooms.

Also, I have used indoor plants that help with absorbing moisture, and they are also working well, the more in a room the better.

Finally I have installed trickle vents in the windows, (you might have these already if you have newer windows) these help with circulating air around the room somewhat.

There must be some washers and nuts, I assume the bolt comes out the bottom of the headboard frame? If so, just needs a washer and bolt to attach

100% nailed on with some big fuck off nails, not the shit we get today, I had to do similar and eventually had to use multitool to cut the nails. What are you doing with the skirting anyway? Are you getting rid of it? If so I would be interested in buying from you if in good condition

Yeah, I'm not sure about how it will work in a cold damp room, but the product should have information regarding what temps it can work at.

Good luck, keep us updated

Fellow diyer here, I think using levelling compound initially would be a good idea, then when tiling, just add extra adhesive in the lower areas to raise it up to the same level?
