Hi, we have a damp patch on one wall in the front room (see pic). When we bought the house we painted over it but after a particularly wet week the mark came back. The mark is on the wall between the previously external wall and the conservatory.<br><br>The survey we had on the house said this:<br><br>"Damp areas were found at low level to the rear east wall in the living room to the right of the French Doors with damp staining present to the plasterboard dry-lining and also the understairs cupboard with efflorescence obvious to the exposed brickwork possibly caused by porous masonry, exposed location and defective flashing to the conservatory. We were unable to determine the exact cause of the dampness and as this is serious you should instruct a Property Care Association (
www.property-care.org/) registered company surveyor to inspect all areas of the property"<br><br>Images of the conservatory flashing attached. <br><br>Does anyone have any suggestions of things to try before getting a costly damp survey?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Theo.
