Damp meter reading - what is high?

I've just bought myself a damp meter for testing my firewood so thought I'd try it around the house too! When we bought the house the surveyors said that there were high damp meter readings throughout and a further specialist damp survey said that whilst high they were to be expected with a house of this age.
My meter shows between 12 and 20% on the skirting boards although lower on the beams that touch ground level. Are these high? I know below 20% is dry for wood burning purposes. What is considered normal levels?
Thanks.
