Sarah Gallagher, good evening. Can I suggest that firstly you get a moisture meter? if you know someone with one, borrow it or? they are not that expensive in large DIY stores such as B&Q [other such outlets exist] that way you can be fairly positive if or not the plaster is wet / damp / dry...

diynoob, good evening again. OK more images. From the last set of images posted. 1/. The post does not go up into the loft. 2/. Is that a splice I can see in the beam?? which appears to allow the bottom of the splice to sit [roughly] central on the post?? Is there a difference in the gap...

diynoob, good evening. Is there any possibility that the vertical post is "twisting"? I ask because in the image posted there appears to be a tapering gap rather than a uniform gap between both sections? Does the post travel up above the ceiling level? Ken.
