Ask your QuestionWho would I need to come out to look at a damp patch in my kitchen? I'm guessing rising damp on a wall that used to be external, now part of extension. Would it be a builder or a damp specialist?
Thanks

"The internal wall is probably sitting in the solem and drawing dampness from that. Get a survey to be sure. Depending on access to the solem it can get lagged at point of contact."
