I have damp patches in the middle of a wall. Nothing below 1m, not near a window, no obvious cause. Any ideas?

Hidden leaking pipe?
What is on the other side of the wall?0 -
sellotape a piece of foil onto the wall leave a week if damp on insde then its a problem comming from the wall..if the foil is damp on the outside then the dampness is casued by something inside and is condensing there due to it being colder than anywhee else...
it could be loose rendering on the outside wall...
also check the guttering outside where it is damp. Clean it out and check for leakage if this is the case then Im sorry its being like that for a long time and wall MIGHT need re-rendering in that area...It might also dry out over time if guttering is fault...THE SHABBY SHABBY FOUNDER0 -
Thanks for replies . The wall is completely internal - inside toilet on other side showing no sign of damp.0
