  • We had a fella come round that appears to know his onions - he's local, and has experience of the local builds.

    It's the rising damp on an internal structural wall (originally it would have been the rear wall) that makes it look like a DPC would be the way forwards.

    I'll be getting some more damp people in for quotes in any case.

    I like the idea of a heritage expert too.

  • We had damp and got it treated. It actually worked really well, and 95% of the symptoms went away. However, we recently put a new kitchen in and found the cause - a significant leak (like, holes in the pipes) in the dishwasher drainage, under the floor.

    So... you may want to spend some time looking for the source.
