Hello jrpfinch, I've read your much earlier comments about damp. I was wondering how you got on after Ralph Burkinshaw? I am hoping he will give a second opinion. After a major refurb of our Victorian house, we have a new damp problem in our basement - water marks above the (new) skirtings meant tiles needed to come up during snagging and revealed water sitting on the floor underneath. It hasn't been the best project!! The contractor's supposed independent man talked about the staircase having to come out, the tiled floors up and ripping out all the cabinetry we've had made in order to treat the damp. I don't know what to believe - it is terrifying. Someone must know the definitive answer. Did you find it?!
