Damp problem, seeking advice

[KDM]

Re:

Have you checked the outside gutters?

Most people forget these and over the years fill up with crap/moss, leaves etc to a point that the water builds up and starts to flow into the walls and through them over time, Checking the gutters is a relatively easy thing to do with little or no cost.

Then try the loft, sometimes it can be a simple thing as one slipped or broken tile. Check those directly above the damp wall, it will be reasonably easy to spot if it is the case.

Re:

Thanks for the advice chaps, much appreciated

We ( well Mrs Muz ) have painted the hardboard back boards on the units that seem to have been drawing in the moisture. Furniture away from walls more now, seems ok . The damp was coming up from the skirting boards , not from the ceiling.
Still waiting for mate to have a look :roll:
