Have you considered upvc cladding? Don't know the character of building you are working on, but looks good and lasts for years.

Subject should have been Concrete and not conrete, but I'm sure you guessed that.

Hi, I need to build an 11m long single brick low retaining wall of only 300mm high. I have half a tonne of 10mm pea left over from a previous project and was wondering if I could use this for the concrete footings. 4 pea/2 sharp sand/1 cement. I know balast has larger stone than this, but do you...

Is the bedroom on the ground floor? If not, you can rule out rising damp, but not rule out penetrating damp. How well is the room heated and is it ventilated with open windows cos it could be condensation forming on the cold surface of the wall. With a few answers, may be able to advise.
