Damp

Still have damp patch on outside wall which occurrs when its rain, according to the landlords team the roof/guttering is okay. Reported it agin and recently someone came round with the landlord and according to this person the wall is contaminated. I think the the water is coming from the roof. They might have to re-plaster the wall although that will not help if they don't find the initial problem of where the water is coming in, otherwise it will happen again. I wish that they would get a professional in as we have had this ongoing problem for 7 months.
Any suggestions what to do, apart from move. Everything else is fine but if they start to re-plaster etc there will probably be alot of inconvenience/noise.

The only thing I will say is even for a really good tradesman it can be difficult to find the point of entry. I had water ingress in a 12 year old house and had all sorts took a look - general builder, joiner, plumber and even one of the family an architect. No one ever found it and it mysteriously stopped after a few weeks

Fair point it is hard to find the point of entry but the people working for the landlord are just cowboys.0
