I am going to see if I can get one of those little cameras with long leads to look through each vent and poke it down the gap under the stairs. I really don't think I could crawl down there. i'll be back next week sometime with an update

I've just checked my neighbours and they have done something similar to what you have done Drpepe.

Thank you, for everyone's replies. It has been very useful. I'll check the vents at the weekend, dig around and see what I can find. In terms of the render being too low - I literally just got the entire property re-rendered just before Christmas, so not sure I want to raise anything at this...
