Plastering was just the ceilings with an aim to redecorate, but we noticed skirtings were damaged. Fireplace backs onto the outside as per picture. Air brick was like that when we moved in and didn’t feed through to the inside. When we moved in 9 years ago we did have that wall replastered and...

Also took the skirting to the right of this one off and that was perfectly fine (against an internal wall).

Outside wall with I think a cavity. Floor is concrete and dry. I pulled another bit off today and there was some rot in two places - brown marks on wall in corner and where skirting had been screwed in. Did not live a couple of brown dots further up wall but there is usually a shelf there...
