Condensation

[Ltd ability]

I am told (by someone on CUK, IIRC) that peeing in the sink takes the chrome plating of the plug hole.

And at the time I was living in a house rented from a bachelor ... where the chrome was peeling up from the plughole.

Edit: found it:

Reminds me of a story I heard about to old brothers who lived with just themselves. Their toilet broke, and they were too skint/tight to get a plumber so they put a couple of slats across the bath and used the bath for both ones and twos.

This reminds me of an episode of that programme on the Beeb - A Life of Grime, I think.

Caught a clip where the health team were visiting a pair of brothers who lived alone. Their mother had died and since then, the house had become filthy - and I mean filthy. It was an absolute tip.

The brothers had psychological issues since their mother died which meant they had a fear of loss and now never threw anything away which included bodily excrements. The house was littered with bags/bottles of festering piss and poo. Just watching it made me want to wretch.

Felt sorry for them - this was the second time the health team had to gain a court order to clear their house as it posed a health hazard. The good thing was they were going to be taken into care this time.

I had a similar problem in my BTL. Primarily caused when UPVC windows were fitted. when I lived there I vented the property well but tenants dont.

I contacted a company in Wales called Nuaire (http://tinyurl.com/ya979rb) They fitted one of their products and it solved the problem nicely.

PM me if you want more details.

a dehumidifier might help

BTW will a 30s semi have cavity walls?

That's what a pro landlord would install.
