3 story Terraced cottage that is built against a bank for the height of the ground floor.

Had property for about 2 years and noticed very slight progression of damp patch on bottom of one timber, not major , timber is slightly cooler to the touch and is starting to flake at the very out edges

Presume I will have to prop it up dig out around it seal the end etc. any tips for commissioning the job and in the meantime any substance that will protect.

Thanks

you will have to expose it and prop it obviously, You could wrap it in dpc and nail it to the beam.
Or Use lead and make a shoe for the end of the beam
