Hi.
any advice on how to find the cause of these damp patches. Found upon stripping the front room that the chimney breast and side walls are damp, the wallpaper came off very easily. Looking at the outside it looks like the wall vents are where the chimney breasts are on the inside of the house. The fire has been taken out of the front room and a chimney sweep is coming to sweep it next week. I've noticed also the pointing is cracked inside the fireplace at the back, would this contribute?
Thanks in advance
