No improvement after digging the trench?
FWIW I suspect the ground...at least in London...is still very wet after the crazy rain we had.
We were having our roof done and we went a week or two with no effective guttering which dumped countless litres of water around the front of our gaff... we've had a musty smell from the subfloor since that has only just started to go away over the last couple of very warm days and about a week of running a dehumidifier on full blast.

The ground in my bit of London is very dry at the moment. We have a big hole in the garden that used to be a pond but the liner was badly torn so I removed it and haven't yet put a new one in. It basically acts as a shallow well and shows the ground water level which varies between totally full and bone dry which is where we are at the moment.

No change at all! Gutted. It seemed to make sense that the render touching ground would draw up moisture beyond the dpc. Also from what I read online was that render should stop a few bricks before ground level.
Today did at least confirm that it is still damp and not stained - his thermal gun was at least useful for that.
