103T: damp despite Dutch, English, French damp proofing
Chimneys are made from single bricks. Therefore there will be heat loss when fireplaces are opened, increasing the risk of condensation.

103U: mould on outbuild incorporated into kitchen
Outbuildings can be internalised. External walls are rarely insulated as well as other walls, increasing the risk of condensation and mould.
Infra-red camera
Use Infra-red to highlight: heat loss gain, missing insulation, condensation mould risk, lack of heat loss points to hygroscopic salts.
Laser thermometer
Tips for using laser thermometers to set up your insulation and heating system. Identify areas vulnerable to mould and condensation.
