Please find attached a photo of my daughter's bedroom. This is an outside wall with a disused chimney on the other side. The wall had shown signs of damp for some time.
A few months ago we had the wall re-skimmed and then painted it. The damp issue re-appeared though and we asked a roofer to check the chimney and flashing etc. He made some repairs to the area which he thought was leaking.
The area doesn't seem to have got worse but the roofer is quite sure the chimney area and roof are water tight. Is it possible this damp is somehow trapped as it doesn't seem to be getting worse but hasn't dried out after 6 weeks? The chimney does have an air brick in it.
Thank you for any advice as I can't see where to go with it next.
