Sorting out your toilet wall.

 

[Squid]

We've been here for 7 years and only just got round to sorting the toilet. There was only slight signs of mould in the bottom corner which is obviously being caused by condensation build up. All the houses down this road are the same design. The toilet is basically a concerted coal storage which everybody has converted into a toilet.

I agree the brickwork is a dog's dinner which I will repoint before I do anything else.

We plan on staying here long term as we are happy. This is the only room we have never touched so it was desperate to be done.

The entire house has had a DPC injection into the bricks. I personally don't think there is anything else sinister going on, it just doesn't look good visually. The adjacent kitchen walls shows no signs of damp

Ahhh okay getting there slowly so its an older house pre 20's by any chance?

Damp is caused by lack of ventilation and cold meeting warm air, does the window get wet as you could insulate the wall with Celotex/Insulated plasterboard but you will lose maybe 50 to 70mm, maybe instal a small heated towel rail to keep the ambient temp up or at least a heated toilet seat as there is nothing worse then having the urge for a number 2 when the temp of the toilet is -5 ;o))))))

you send 'er indoors first. a warm seat is compensation for the pong.

Already got a heated towel radiator. Was debating electric heated floor so didn't have to have the house heating on to warm the area up.

It's a 1930's house. 35 I think to be precise.

Think I will sort the wall out. Treat it with a waterproofing treatment then use a board with moisture barrier. Was going to tile on top of that but that will take up more room.

Tbh the old toilet plaster had been on nearly 10 years and only recently started showing signs of damp. I don't think it's really bad but it's obviously present

Trouble is women "hover"

You don't need to fully tile just around the sink and I assume its more of a guest toilet or for downstairs use.

To be honest, knock it down and build a two story side return ;o))))))
