The walls either side have only one layer of brick down to the level of the sink, where it then has a cavity. Which is why I thought it might be penetrative damp. But it is only damp on one wall and in one patch, roughly at the level of the sink???

In my kitchen I have a bay area where the sink is, with a window and single skin walls either side. I'm having trouble with a leak/damp on one side of the bay when it rains (the weather hit side). I've recovered the bay roof, done a bit of pointing where I think it was necessary, but still the...

Well I bought 15 litres of matt finish ripple effect textured emulsion. But I haven't used it yet (and the receipt is in a safe place) My indecision is frustrating. The ceiling is now holding up the rest of the decoration - including the laying of carpets in other rooms too. If I start...

I've recently had a new bathroom suite fitted, and I've discovered a small leak between the flexible plastic waste pipe and the right-angled pipe joining the bath. As you can probably tell from the above description, I have little-to-no idea when it comes to plumbing. But, as I'm reluctant...

Hello New to the forum - wish i'd found it months ago :? I need a bit of advice with my bedroom ceiling. I started peeling away some of the wallpaper that was covering it, but after ripping down the lath and plaster kitchen ceiling and having it re-boarded I am loath to do the same in the...
