Sorry all I don't think I've made myself very clear here so will close this post and try again. Thanks for your time.

Hello Woody, We intend to remove the decking outside completely so there is no penetrating damp from that. The survey was for the damp inside the lower flat in the wall where the decking abuts. There is some damp but not a lot in the higher flat. The surveyor's report said that there was...
