Leak/Damp Specialist

A couple of years ago now we had a lintel in a fire place raised so we could fit shelving into the alcove. The builder we used used plaster board to square it all off and make it look "good". The plaster simply didnt dry in certain patches and the paint continues now to bubble and powder. We have had numerous revisits and numerous suggestions of what might be causing the problem, including the possibility that the chimney isnt ventilated properly or is leaking. The damp is not consistent with the characteristics of rising damp. One suggestion was that the plaster just absorbs the water in the kitchen's atmosphere, and unless we have this re-done using a non-salt based plaster, the problem will continue.


We'd really like some specialist advice on this so we can finally fix the problem. Any recommendations of such an expert would be gratefully received. Someone who can both advise and carry out the work would be ideal.


Thanks

    • We've been getting almost regular deliveries to the Gardens/ Kelmore grove again. It was awful at one point 6 months back. I suppose it's hit and miss depending on where you are. Our sorting office is Peckham.
    • Light blue kid's coat found on Goodrich Road. 
    • Yup. At best I have people who detest Trump shrugging and saying something like “what ya gonna do?” Like that is any kind of answer what we gonna do is condemn, and watch out for same happening here - and watch out for all the handmaidens who would allow this to happen.  Apologists for Farage, Jenrick etc 
    • There are plenty of Jewish people on these marches, who have every right to stand up and say not in our name. A Jewish bloc attends every single one: https://jfjfp.com/voices/jjp-at-the-gaza-demonstrations/ Jewish peoples lives are being made less safe by this war, as we recently saw in Manchester and in the clear increase in antisemitism. They want to see Peace, and this will only happen with justice for the Palestinians. Most have - within living memory - members of their families who have been murdered by an authoritarian regime. They know what they are seeing and why they are marching. Calling going on march 'indulging in Jew hatred' is just ridiculous. You've clearly never been on one. Engage your critical faculties and think about why these marches are being smeared, rather than spouting what the right wing press and home secretary tell you.
