Normal central heating run off a combi. Nothing directly above and no leaks upstairs. Noone has interfered with the floors or anything. Hence why am baffled

Water is fed from rear. Floor is dry. Laminate flooring. Which is dry. Boiler is in bathroom. Directly Above kitchen. So pipe comes in and straight up to feed the boiler in bathroom. And then pipes go where they go. Other side of damp patch attached

Cannot see how any water pipes are tracking in that area. Water stop cock is at the rear of the property and feeds the kitchen at the rear of the property. No DPM as its an internal wall

Concrete floor. So no pipes in the vicinity

its a single skin wall. Bedroom above. Central heating is fine. No patches running from above. A real mystery to me

Other side of wall with damp patch

No void to drip into.

Hi. I have a strange problem. I have a random damp patch that has appeared on an internal wall out of nowhere. The patch is where a doorway has been pboarded up. Hallway is on the otherside of the wall. No pipes running under or behind. No visible dampness anywhere else. Have lived in house for...

Rigifix is the answer. God knows what kind of suggestion you just made 😒

Screwfix do a number of resins. Polyester, vinylester, styrene free etc. Can you recommend one? Never used this stuff before but online reviews are singing its praises so maybe am missing a trick here

I think rigifix is much easier. How do you get resin into the hole if there is a cavity between plasterboard and brick?

So with the resin and threaded rod method. You drill the hole for the rod. Apply the resin to the thread that will sit in the hole? Allow to dry and set aNd then attach the bracket and fasten nuts?

hi, not sure if this is the right forum for this but will try. I need to put my tv up on the wall which has been dot and dabbed Obviously you get wall plugs for plasterboard and you get wall plugs for brick. But I have a combination of them both! I used to have it on the chimney and...
