Morning all, I hope this might be in the right section but if not please can a mod move it.
Earlier in the year we had a lot of replastering done due to it being blown, all part of a big redecorating project. Part of this was done in our hallway near our front door.
I've noticed recently that there are yellow stains coming through the emulsion which I know can be signs of damp. This makes sense as next door, that part is an external porch.
My question is, if this is indeed the source of the damp problem, is there anything I can do to stop this as I don't want the plaster blowing again. Does my neighbour have any obligation to rectify their porch so that it doesn't affect my property?
I get on with my neighbour so don't want to fall out but curious to know if they should do something seeing as it affecting my house.
I live in a terrace and my neighbours house is the only once that hasn't extended their front door out so it's obviously open to the elements. I have advised them that their guttering is blocked which is causing water to overflow into said porch as well.
Thanks!
