93 Lowther Street Coventry CV2 4GL We have attended the property today to investigate the issues of mould and damp. Upon inspection, there is evidence of water ingress to the front window area, likely due to defective brickwork and pointing. This is allowing moisture to penetrate internally and contribute to the damp conditions observed. Internally, the property is in overall need of general redecoration, with visible staining, marks and areas affected by mould growth. The mould present appears to be a combination of the external ingress noted and internal environmental factors, including insufficient heating and limited use of windows for ventilation. The bathroom extractor fan is operational and considered adequate. However, the kitchen lacks sufficient mechanical ventilation, which will contribute to elevated moisture levels within the property. In addition, the bathroom window is of an older specification and not performing efficiently; replacement is recommended to improve thermal performance and reduce condensation. Recommended proposed works are as follows: Repointing to the external brickwork surrounding the front window to prevent further water ingress. Improvement of ventilation to the kitchen area, subject to specification, to better manage internal humidity levels. Replacement of the existing bathroom window with a new unit to improve insulation and reduce condensation risk. Carry out full internal preparation and redecoration throughout the property, including treatment of affected mould areas, application of appropriate stain block products, and repainting to provide a clean and uniform finish. Addressing the external defect is essential prior to or in conjunction with internal works, as failure to do so will result in ongoing moisture ingress and recurrence of the issues.
