I can’t see a visible plastic strip externally, but based on the internal floor level and brick courses, I believe the DPC is in the mortar joint above the second brick course from ground level.

I’ve checked the ground level more closely. The gravel isn’t fully covering the DPC from what I can see, but it is quite close to the bottom brick and there’s soil/debris holding moisture against the wall. I’m going to pull it back and lower it to give clear clearance below the DPC and create a...

Not specifically yet, but I will check the guttering above the area for any leaks or staining. There’s a canopy over the door, but I’ll rule it out properly.
