  • 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
