Hi all,

Can anyone explain what kind of damp this is and what might be causing
it? There is nothing amiss or damaged on the outside of the building that
could account for it so I'm at a complete loss as to what the underlying

Thanks.



Somehow managing to get around the door frame ?


....or down from the window...sure looks like water coming from the badly
fitted window or door....I would strip off the plasterboard and keep an
eye on it in wet weather.....that internal window sill looks like it is
running toward the window as well...and any water will be funnelled down
there ..wonder if the window/door has been fitted in the outer
leaf?...hard to tell...if so it could be in front of the cavity closure
and in front of the cavity closure of the lintel above.....need more photo's
