Read your edit - That's silly money.
I think you're bang on the money re: getting a builder and ignoring the chemical nonsense. I'd be tempted to leave the re-plastering for a while though.
Checking the gutters etc... is good advice though. As is fixing any knackered render. Or removing it entirely.

Seeing the survey it seems that, regardless of the damp proofing, we would still have to get a builder to check under the decking and retouch the render. So we wonder if the damp proofing is still worth it. They quoted £2000 for the whole chemical treatment, plasterwork and súper fan (£300 fan!) installation. Quite a lot of reading 📖 but I would appreciate a second opinion
