Paddington bear has been a love in this house for many years . Kadiann use to love him when she was little and she will be 18 next month , I love how the children’s childhood favourites have been passed on down.
If you have followed me for a while then you will know we have been on a massive journey in the last few houses we have lived in with damp.

I wanted to share some tips with you on how to damp proof your home that we have tried and tested and have made such a difference .
First you need to figure out which type of damp you are working with , yes there is more than just one .
RISING DAMP
This is known for most of us and most will of had it at some point. Almost like it feels wet in the air , and you might notice the walls looking wet ,this is usually linked with drying clothes on the radiators.
WHAT WILL HELP
Getting a clothes horse to dry your clothes on rather than the actual radiator makes such a different , also opening the windows in the room you are drying your clothes in will massively help.
CONDENSATION
Condensation is quite a common one and we’ve had it in most of our homes. Poor ventilation is normally the cause of this and we actually had no air vents in some of the rooms in our last home which made it even worse .
WHAT WILL HELP
Investing in a humidifier was an absolute god send for us . It collects all the moisture out of the air and you just empty it when it’s full. If you can’t afford one then leaving a window open a tiny bit does help along with leaving doors open rather than shutting them all ,let’s the air circulate through better.
These are just a few damp issues we have had and some of our solutions that helped us along the way to a damp free home .
DBI have recently wrote an article of the different types of damp in great detail , why they occurr and all the different solutions to fix them .
