FreeBear said: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.
Not sure if it's the door pointing also looks okay but ground below bricks few gaps but when I lifted subfloor it was fine 1/2 months ago really at a loss0 -

Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.0 -

The cement is weathering on the drive and pathway is worn. I will look at getting a new drive and pathway and ground level lowered at least 3 inches at that time (expensive job) 2-3 years.0 -
