    Just needed an idea of what would be reasonable should I be asked to contribute. Anyone?

    I am dealing with the problem, dont worry. Ok so the guy came and said we need a new damp proof course and a few ventilation tiles in the roof, probably 4. Any idea on the cost please?

    Also, he said the damp was mild, only 1.5% reading but I'm not sure what this means?

    1.5% is non existent. Above 20% surveyors consider to be damp. (Although this doesn't actually mean there is any!)

    Ah so if that's the case then they may not even do anything about it...
