nearly finished cleaning up, but I think i'll be finding dust for weeks to come! They've done a cracking job though, the plaster was a bit ropey anyway to be honest, so they've skimmed the rest of the wall as well! | |

The patio at the rear is half way up the vents and about 2mm away? | |

Yep, it'll definately be one of those. Most likely the first - where possible keep the outside ground level below the inside. | |

We have damp in our cottage. I believe it's caused by the fact that the driveway outside is a good few feet above the inside of the house, the lack of drainage around the place and the underground river that runs beneath is :o | |

I would imagine they'll fit trickle vents to the top of your windows - most un-invasive thing they can do and pretty cheap :thumbs: | |

we have damp in our rented student house at the minute which has been diagnosed as being caused by condensation. We're having some work done on it tomorrow apparently, so i'll see what they do and report back! | |

Very little information to go on, but I would say probably not rising damp. | |
