Just to thank all again for your help. The builder found that the plasterboard had been put directly against the stone wall. He built a frame a attached fresh plaster board.

Sunk in a bit.

I have had a builder repair part of a damaged wall. He's cut out the damaged area and replaced it with plasterboard (36" x 18" ) He has told me that I just need to tape and paint it. I have never taped or painted onto a cut out plasterboard. Any help thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. The wall is cavity. The floor isn't solid. I have no idea with regards to the left hand 110mm pipe, could it vent as nothing is feeding into it above ground? The bottom overflow is dormant, top I'm not sure about. Everything outside is dry, there's no leaks running...

It's stud boards. There's no plumbing on that side of the wall that the door is adjacent to.

Thank you for your reply I had 2 photos on my phone, but i am away from the flat until later on today and will send a photos of the exterior when i get back. :)

I live in a ground floor flat I have a 6" circular patch on an inside wall next to an exterior door. I think the wall is called a tunnel type door frame, so the door can only open 90 degrees. It is not damp to the touch, but cold. I had a surveyor tell me it is damp, but it I've had it for years...
