Some of you may remember I have some damp issues a few cm above skirting board height. Nothing major, no mould, never seems to get worse just ever present.
Tried a few things, had a couple surveyors round - they’re equally confused. Suggested potentially condensation but we now regularly run a dehumidifier and it’s normally about 60%.
Decided to poke at the wall a bit and wondered what I’m looking at, layers and layers of wall.
Looks like cement(?), plaster, plastic-y gloss paint (?) and then another layer of plaster???
Plenty of potential for moisture to get stuck between these layers?
Did not see your earlier post but looks like cement yes render coat, plaster gypsum skim coat which for some reason has been painted with gloss paint then at a later date skimmed again.
So yes plenty of layers to attract moisture but is the damp really that bad? I can not see from this photo
