Potential cause of damp issues causing blown plaster and flaking paint? Ask your questions and find answers on many subjects relating to plastering and dry lining

Hi, we have blown plaster and flaky paint on the bottom of a first floor wall. It’s an external wall. We’ve also noticed what looks like water marks on the ceiling above it. We haven’t got a ladder to investigate the exterior at the moment. Any ideas what could cause this and how to fix? Could this be damp, guttering or roof issues? Or a mixture of all 3 perhaps?

We are looking to sell ASAP so the cheaper to remedy the better.

Thank you

Hi rebecca_0704
Looks like you may have a problem with your roof, start with this and get the local building elements checked.
