Wanted: someone to fix a damp problem

[Pickle]

I'm not sure whether I need a builder, handyman or brick specialist?

Problem in an upstairs bedroom at the back of our house, which has stemmed from having work done a few years ago, render being removed from the brickwork, then patched up. Three years on, water is getting in through the render, whether it be due to cracks or just the render being done incorrectly I'm not sure.

Leading from this, we have a growing patch of damp under the window in our upstairs bedroom. The paint has flaked off, and due to all the rain this year the patch is getting bigger at a rapid rate.

We are looking for someone to fix the outside problem, then to sort out the patch inside, which I think will need the plaster taken out and redone. Redecorating not required, as we will have this done by another contractor.

Recommendations gratefully received, please, no self referrals.

Thanks

might be a bit late for you but I would recommend David Duggan 07943 804 075. He found and fixed a damp problem for us (& the damage the damp had done to our floor joists) at a reasonable price. I thought he was excellent and the quality of his & team's work high. Having had quite a few people round to discuss damp, he is of the 'all damp has a cause, identify the cause & fix that problem' school rather than the chemical damp treatment salesmen & so on. pm me if you have any questions.
