We have been doing up our 1960s house for the last year. The previous owners did nothing unless they had to. One thing they did do is replace the old concrete guttering. As we have stripped off old wallpaper in the bedroom we found blown plaster along the ceiling which is probably why they replaced it.
About 9 months ago we had the front bedroom skimmed and where the plaster had blown it was taken back to brick and re-plastered. It's since been repainted and we are using it as our bedroom.
Last month we had to have some roof work done on the back extension and at the same time we had the moss removed from the whole roof. The roofer checked for any broken tiles an replaced them.
Tonight we have found a damp patch on this bedroom wall. It's about 4 inches below the coving and is in the corner on the wall that joins our neighbours (semi). What would cause this? We are gutted as we don't want it to ruin our new plaster. We have checked the loft and no sign of any damp or wet anywhere. The outside wall does look damp in that area though.
Where should we start to identify this issue asap please?
