Thanks foxhole. I don't think it is condensation as they are double glazed windows, and I never see condensation o them. I note that damp is only on the bottom of the bay where it meets the wall in the interior. When I say it is on the corners of the bay, I mean that it is on the places circleed in the below image. It is exactly the same on the bay on the ground floor. The wall has lining paper. I removed the lining paper on the second from left circle, so I could see behind it. The plasterwork all seems okay apart from right at the top. I was considering hacking away some more plaster at the top and filling any visible holes with expandable foam. Any thoughts? The wall is a cavity wall.
