It used to be old council gas fire. There is a cowl on roof as it blew off one winter and it's been put back. I've opened up a few vents in house which had been covered over and also vented the fireplace now.

Borded behind this fire place no air

My chimney was completely boarded up no vent, could this be cause..2 damp parts either side of chimney. I have swept out middle it was damp at first.

Further along drive

That's the airbrick, water hit the wall to the left. Nearest down pipe is on the right hand wall past the steps.I will take some more pics. The inside picture the cables is to the left of this air brick. There are also 2 other airs on this wall. You will be able to see them if you can zoom in on...

Left hand side is where gutter overflowed

Outside of po Property

No extraction fan I have to open window. Wooden floor but I checked under carpet and it's dry. It's not a bay window and I don't think there are gaps. There is an airbrick outside close this and when gutter overflowed it splash from my Neighbors wall near to airbrick.

Hope it's just that, I thought it could be condensation as house is very humid.

Nothing against wall outside, just driveway. Over the last year it's been like this. Drains are away from house however I did have overflowing gutter in this corner of house which was sorted around April time.

I have 2 small damp patches one under window above skirting board and one behind chair on the same wall. My house is quite humid and I have dried clothing on rads in past. I can get this even on a hot day. The house has cavity wall insulation which was fitted before I moved in.
