Can anyone help me I have a 1960s maisonette concrete floor condensation is creating mould on bottom of wall want to know how to get rid of it and tips on keeping it at bay thank you

I have the same problem and until I can afford damp proofing I bought a small dehumidifier and a timer plug so that it goes on for a few hours in the night. The dehumidifier extracts any damp in the air and collects it in a tray...
its amazing how much water it collects in one night! If you leave it near the problem area and you only need a small one that can be tucked away when not in use
