Hi
I posted a thread a few weeks ago regarding damp around the bay window of my front room. I’ve been letting the brickwork dry out since. I’ve also pulled up the floor boards to see what is going on internally. It looks like the vent was block and someone has previously tried to treat the damp. They’ve added a damp proof course above the original slate one. It looks like it was a layer of felt? There’s also evidence of injections into the wall. The brickwork has salts and high damp readings.
I’m not sure what to do next?! I’ve had three damp companies come as view my house. None of them identified the issues I’ve been describing. They suggested injecting a solution into the wall and using a special plaster. I’m not sure I trust asking someone else - but need to get it sorted! What would you advise me to do next? Would it better to ask a builder? I’ve added photos below.
Thanks for your help, Will.
