Hi can anyone advise how to combat dampness that is appearing through the wallpaper around the window fame/window sill area. in the bedroom area of our home. The room was redecorated last year and repatching of the plaster was done, but should I have used some kind of membrane prior to plastering.

do you have condensation on the window!!!

if so how do you clear it!!! cloth or ventilation!!!
 
Hi big all, yes do have condenstion on window (upvc d/Glazed) but even when not evident plaster is cold around this area.
 
is it a new window installation?, if so they might not have bedded the window on mastic properly!

Hi Paulboy,
thanks for your reply, sorry for the slow replys to you and big-all,s mail. I am not always on line, so an apology in advance to anyone posting a solution to my problem if I don't reply for a while, no slight intended just juggling time around the family.

In reply paulboy, the instalation has been in for a few years and had plastic beading between the windows and the wall in question, and when I decorated last year I removed the plastic bead and platered up to the window.
