Its more the operator than the operation. Any 'damp expert' armed with a damp meter thrust before him, will be booted off any of my sites. There is more to damp masonry and plaster than can be shown with a rudimentary damp meter.
Current/resistance...?
Next you'll be telling me they give the operator a detailed analysis of why the damp is there, how the damp got there, how it affects the masonry, the actual content and describe which bits of masonry should and should not be showing an amount of moisture.
On their own - they are useless bits of kit.
That I agree with, not the less such a meter will highlight moisture levels contained within a substance.

Did I suggest or indicate otherwise? Get off your soapbox!
Roger dat.
anne no its chemical so it wont dry out. Its not condensation. The bedroom chimney breast in your photo should have a vent and have been swept. The bedroom fireplace is probly blocked off.
Some of the wall and ceiling paper in your pic has been blown and theres lots of shadows.
its good the sweep was recently there but by then the chemical penetration had already taken place.
