Also done my best to take a pic of the top of the tiles from the back of the garden in case that gives a better view - all pretty low res, but the best I could do!

Thanks for your help @JohnD . Here's a pic of the back... you can see the back of my house on the right and theirs on the left. The moss down the back of their house maybe indicates something isn't right with their guttering/rainwater pipe as you suggest?

Hi, I’ve made what I now realise was an amateur mistake and used PolyCell Quick Set Cement without sand to patch up an outside wall. The wall itself has penetrating damp that comes from shoddy work on a neighbours recent extension (terraced housing), so when it rains the wall looks saturated...
