It looks as though I have to get some mechanical ventilation or under my floor, as only one outside wall. Anyone got any suggestions on what to use as not much information online?
Thanks.

Hum ........... for this to work you would need to increase the air into and out of the affected area - so can you add more airbricks or similar?

Ventilation needs a "source" of air to work.

There's quite a big airbrick at the front but the damp smell is more by the solid internal wall, so air is getting in, it's just not getting out.
