Builder Nr Croydon

[jambo]

Afternoon All,
Dropped this in I.B where it belongs, but it was 3 pages down within the day as more important topics such as man bags and Scoobs pushed it out the way. Entirely understandable, but I could still use a hand....

We seem to have a damp / mouldy patch on an external wall in Benji's bedroom. This is part of an extension built under the care of the previous owner who, it turns out, was a sod for cutting corners.

This damp patch is near no guttering and the pebble dashing on the outside looks OK from the ground. It is, however, getting worse. So, anyone know a builder that they'd trust to come and look at this and give an honest assessment?

Edit: House is South Croydon / Purley

Cheers

Jambo

P.S, last week we cut a hole in the kitchen ceiling to replace a shot transformer for the lights. Anyone got a bit of plasterboard about 15cmx40cm in the 12.5mm thick stuff to patch the hole? Turns out you can only buy it in massive sheets

Mr Toad reckons he may have the plaster board thing covered

he started off breaking bikes - now it's spread to houses!

I'll ask my mate for a bit of plasterboard if he has any left. So you have a damp patch in the middle of a wall with nothing around it? That's odd. Is there the possibility that there's a pipe going through there or in the cavity?
