No vents at all in the room or in the window.
Mould buid-up was before the job was done and still continuing after a vent was put in.
The window frames and winddow cill are still very wet and must be mopped dry everyday.
a new window was put in with a vent. The vent is fine and the workmanship looks good. So I’m very confused as to what might be causing the problem and also what comeback I haveA dormer window is classified as an alteration to to a dwelling and not an extension. Therefore the 40 sq.m. exemption does not apply. Furthermore, a dormer window would normally not fall under exepted development as defined under Section 4 (1)(h) of the Planning and Development Act (although in the case of your house having authorised dormers already and also your neighbours’ houses it may be that planning would not be required as the addtition of another dormer may not render your dwelling inconsistent with the appearance of the dwelling as existing or with neighbouring dwellings). So planning permission would more than likely be required. A Section 5 declaration is always a good thing to get if your confused. €80 cost and takes 4 weeks only.
