We bought a fixer-upper of a house 3.5 years ago. We fixed everything up (a big job - electrics, windows, removing a wall, new boiler, decoration throughout etc.) within about 18 months, except for the utility room. This is a single skin room, tacked onto the back of the kitchen, and has a problem with damp. It also has a toilet in there, walled off from the rest of the utility.
When we got new windows we also got double glazed units in the utility room, which are too small to have an opening. One has a trickle vent. The utility is single brick constructed with a poured concrete flat roof. There doesn't seem to be any water ingress from the roof.
What would people suggest to remove the damp? The whole room requires replastering as it has a kind of concrete render on the inside which is falling off in chunks. I can think off:
1. Fit an air brick. The cheap option.
2. Fit a dehumidifier with permanent drain into the toilet soil pipe.
3. Insulate the roof by boarding and stuffing with rock-wool / other insulation.
4. The expensive option - insulate the outside. There's not enough room to insulate inside.
5. Repoint the outside, just in case.
Any other suggestions?
