So I own a first floor flat and each flat has our own water tank, the flat below mine has a large wet/damp patch on their wall around their tank over flow pipe, they informed me that the plumber could not find any issue with their water tank and that they could see it was coming from my overflow pipe, I had a plumber over straight after that who repaired the ball cock, but about a week later I notice the wall was wet again and it looked like drops of water were coming out of their overflow, I’ve had my plumber back again who checked my area thoroughly including my bathroom and said there were no issues in my flat and he said if it was ever my overflow pipe then my wall would have been wet too which it isn’t. We’ve had a lot of rain over the last couple of weeks too so would this be keeping the wall wet, it looks really bad and the wall is starting to go black but I don’t know what else to do?

So i'm trying to match the tyrolean finish as close as possible on my house. The render has been completely removed on one side of the house and scratch coat has been applied with a 3/1 ratio. I'm looking at buying some of the tyrolean mix that goes with water to try it but can it be applied directly on the scratch coat or does it need a top coat first? If i mix my own tyrolean could i put that straight onto the scratch coat or will i need another coat either way? I'm seeing mixed messages regarding whether it can be applied directly onto the scratch coat or if a topcoat needs to be applied. Thanks for any advice.
