The neighbours garden is now above the DPM and Idk what sort of condition the bricks are in anyway. Unfortunately I doubt a dehumidifier will do anything but burn electricity.
What I really need to do is fix it on the neighbours side, but this is quite involved for a number of reasons.
My current thinking is:
Stage 1: Get some ventilation back in...
- air brick of some sort
- humidity fan wired to a plug, set high so it's mainly for extreams and when the tumble dryer is on.
Stage 2: add internal waterproofing...
- liquid DPM
- tanking slurry on back wall and the first part of adjacent walls
- SLC on the floor + some sort of paint
Looking online I think the hardest part of the above is going to find the correct series of products to add together (mainly the SLC). The SLC needs to be OK to adhere to a liquid DPM, but also designed to work as a finished surface, as well as being paintable/sealable. I'm not too fussed about the floor, I just want to be able to clean it. Currently there's lino, which looks shit but is practical.

Is the TD venting to the outside? Or condenser. Assume so.
I think your plans are throwing good money after bad.I think an airbrick is akin to pissing in the wind. A fan is better. Dehumidifier a lot cheaper than all your plans.

What are you storing in there that has issues with the humidity? Can you just use it for stuff where it isn't an issue/stick some stuff in waterproof containers?

Will an air brick really help much? I don't think so. Got power? Just run a dehumidifier a bit.
