Internal walls wet and showing signs of damp
Internal wall in bedroom sometimes feels wet - especially after winter months/heavy spells of rain. There is some staining at the top of the walls and also some areas of damp/mould in adjacent cupboard. Old chimney breast runs up same wall so suspect it is related to this. Unsure whether I need a roofer or bricklayer or even if it's related to guttering/flashing. Thankfully, it is the only room in the house which has any damp/mould but would like to get it resolved. Any hints or troubleshooting tips appreciated.

Suspect Planning Department
A friend lives in a semi and the next door has been sold. Building work started with the concrete roof tiles being replaced with slates At the time Planning permission had not been granted The join between the different roofs has been covered with ridge tiles which are not placed accurately over the join. In other words the top tile is fully on my friends roof and the bottom tile fully on the other partys roof. The planning dept were told but they have given planning permission for the change. As the new house owner spent money buying slates which might not have got planning permission I suspect he has a friend of influence

How long does uPVC guttering last for?
How long should my guttering last for? I’ve moved into a house recently which has had guttering for about the past ten years. It is uPVC guttering. I’d like to know how many years I can expect this type of guttering to last before it will need replacing.
Leaking Guttering
A part of guttering has been replaced to a new front section. When it rains, it is now leaking quite heavily in one or two places. Not sure if it’s under or over the guttering, but the water is running down the brickwork, which it never did before. Any idea what the problem might be and how to resolve the issue.
