Hi Sharon.

I think Als might be abroad at the minute, as for being hunted down lol he loves it, I'm sure if he is back home now he will get in touch with you, best of luck with the dreaded damp.

P.S. There are a few others in the fix it club, who may be able to help.

well I am not in the fix it club but did extensively repair our old Damp van including resealing the windows, rails, lights and all external fittings, then there were the rotten battens to replace and repair, it wasn't too dificult really it's just very basic carpentry and common sense

Hi Sharon,

As chris says there are quite a few members who have fought the dreaded damp and won. Have a look Here to view lots of damp projects undertaken.

All the best,
