Would using DPM on walls (internally) or maybe Synthaprufe be an option? This should solve the water penetrating!?

Thanks again John. Yes you are right thinking about it being two separate potential problems!! Don't think the rainscreen is an option due to space, expense and the look I was trying to achieve. Was going to get it Rendered - Will this help/ prevent the Water ingress? Lots of buildings are...

Thanks John D Was concerned that the wool would be more likely to retain moisture if against the outside wall? (Current gets damp on the inside if heavy persistent rain driving gains it.. Also would the battens would be more suseptible to rot even if using tantalised timber? Would it be an...
