The issue I have is damp in a spare bedroom. It is not rising damp, more caused by condensation or a leak from the roof??
The cause of the damp is:
1)Not enough roof space ventilation – Roof vents needed - I have been told I need 4
2)Cold spots in the ceiling / walls ( I have insulation available from a friend) – Read article link (at the bottom of the page)
3)Internal vents upstairs to disperse moisture. (I have some of these already but they need to be installed)
I have been told I need to
1) erect ali tower to gutter level (6m tower required)
2) take off bottom tiles
3) Check cavity insulation – is it OK?
4) Replace / remove insulation where required
5) Check for water ingress through roof / parapet
6) Provide new membrane to u/s parapet
7) Offer up roof ladder – Fit over ridge
8) Install 2 number roof vents (2 per side)
9) Cut opening in plaster board and provide vents.

Can you cost up how much it will cost you to do this job and provide the ali tower? Also how long would this take?
I have put a desired budget of £10 as I have no idea how much this will cost. I have been told it won't be much but I don't know what I should class this as??
