Speaking of damp, I've had some issues arise after the latest pissing rain.
Any suggestions on what/who I should be getting in to look at this stuff?Have a look at the sealant around the outside edges of the window frame. Also, any frame fixing screws going down through the cill that don't have any sealant around the heads.
That's possible causes for below the window(s) but unlikely for the fireplace. Breaks in the pointing may be the culprit as you suspect.

Before I bought the house the render was removed and my suspicion is that they didn't do a great job of repairing/repointing what was revealed. Does this sound a likely reason, have a couple of similar patches in other rooms?
Also appear to have damp on a chimney breast (on the ground floor) with little idea of what could be causing that.
