I'll get onto it this week and let you guys know how it goes. Appreciate all the ideas.
The balcony actually sits on top of the apartment unit below (over a bedroom) just to add an additional consideration to the mix!
I actually cleared it today, small but of build up of moss blocking it but nothing major. It is located off to the right hand side top corner!
Thank you! My greatest concern is that it is a DPM / floor height issue. Checked today and the tiles outside are just about lower than the concrete...
Thank you for the comprehensive reply, sir diy_fun_uk!
My concern about taking up the tiles is not damaging them / damaging under them / rain making it worse while I am exploring / putting them back down wrong :-)
In terms of a tradesman - who would be most appropriate to contact for support?
Hi, I am putting down new flooring on our top floor apartment (2007) that we just bought.
One room has a balcony. It seems dampness is coming in from the balcony - particularly after rain [maybe that's obvious :o) ].
Is there any way to fix or mitigate this before putting down vinyl?
Any...
