Wouldn’t use distemper. Too fragile for modern family living. More for retired couple in a 1500s cottage vibe. Little greene is great in general. anything really decent these days is About 100 per 5l. . Dulux Trade is fine though and the cheapest I would go tbh. Heard good things about tikkarilla recently too. Damp - are the skirtings rotten behind ? Get a damp meter in there . Hallways often bad as lack heating and upvc door seals limit ventilation. I don’t buy the damp injection thing but hacking off the plaster and doing a hard cement render skirt would potentially work - but also may push the issue elsewhere- depends if it’s happening because of a breached damp proof course . In a house if that age it would been slate - which may have cracked. We had big issues with similar in a house at the bottom of Highgate hill . My theory was the ground / surface water came down and sat around our foundations. Fuck knows tho damp is such a headache to diagnose .

3 spots on the ground floor where there is evidence of damp. Just above skirting boards either side of the UPVC front door, and then another spot just above skirting board on another external wall. The current paint has flaked off there.
