Some background: we bought a wreck of a house 2 years ago, it needed a lot of work as nothing had been done since it was built in 1966: no kitchen, central heating, shower, asbestos floor tiles, the worst of which was the previous owner was a chain-smoking agoraphobic so the house was very yellow, and very smelly.
We have done almost everything we could to mitigate the stench but have one remaining issue which is a small cupboard above the stairs that the hot water tank lived in. The tank is out, holes in the wall filled, repainted with stain blocker paint and new white wall paint, I replaced the wooden floor of it with sealed ply and siliconed the gaps to the void below too but it STILL smells! Has had some sort of bicarbonate / air purifier in for many months too.
Any ideas? Repaint the whole thing again with something super strong?
