I was wondering if you assist me. The paint has gone all powdery and is falling off. My missus seems to think it is rising damp, but the plaster underneath seems to be dry, there is no mold, mildew or smell. The skirting boards are unaffected. It seems like the paint is simply flaking off. Do you know what it is and what I can do about it.

That wall is wet. If you use matt emulsion, thinned down, it'll be able to breathe and hopefully dry out enough for you to use your finish of choice.
Any pipework in the area (inside or out)- I had damage like that thanks to a very slow drip from a gutter.
