Hi,
I’ve just shelled out our, hopefully, forever home. It’s a very tired 1920’s bungalow poorly extended in the 80’s then even worse quality of work extension in the 90’s to 4,500 sq ft.
The 90’s extension even just pitch roofed over flat tarred roofs left in situ; they were pigs to remove.
All the bodged are sorted and I’m looking at putting it back together. I don’t want to gyproc everything up and end up with the same condensation issues that trashed it in the first place.
All the external walls will be limed as they’re all cavities thankfully. The internal walls will be aerated blocks with lime plaster.
I’d like to not to use gyproc on the ceilings but I generally cannot find a realistic alternative tbh. Is it possible to use gyproc on the ceilings and use a dehumidifier and ventilation in the loft? The old insulation was soaked and rotten and full of the vermin you’d expect in a dilapidated farm bungalow.
Any advice appreciated.
