Where is this damp coming from?

I've posted before I thought I had solved my issue lifted floorboards up dig out rubbish that had collected in the vent outside (see images) now seems like after 2 days of heavy rain water has affected new plaster (put on a month ago)

No that's the hallway damp area

You appear to have quite a few cracks in the pebbledash on the door reveal - Probably not helping, but I don't think they are the main source of damp. It could be a lack of sealant where the door frame butts up to the render. Or water could be tracking under the frame in the corner - See if you can find a local window/door doctor that can offer some advice.

You don't think it's the brickwork near the vent the guy that did plastering said it may need repointing. However, it does seem like affecting that door area can I not just apply some sealant myself? The wind/rain does tend to hit the other way though

Looks like it could be seeping in under the pebble dash where there's a small gap between it and the brick cill.

There isn't by any chance a bit of a drip from the gutter above that door, is there? If so water just could be being "bounced" back at the wall and then under the render...?

Someone has offered to repoint the bricks along the house for £300 and then look at the gutters

I meant only the bit by the door that you could fill with sealant.

I would also start at the door frame.  It looks like it's running along and under the render. 

Tube of sealant is only a few quid.  Let it dry out and see how you get on.
