    Check the gutters and drainpipes when it rains..if they are blocked the rainwater will run along the wall and cause damp.. if not might be the roof..

    Is it a bedroom? Bathroom?

    Is the damp worse at the top (ie originating above)?

    Have you or anyone been up on the roof (yours or theirs)?

    It could be missing tiles/slates letting rain in, or as suggested it could be a blocked/overflowing gutter/drainpipe.

    Or it could be defective flashing if there is a valley betwen the two roofs.

    I'd get someone up to take a look as diagnosing the exact problem is obviously the first step to fixing it.
