Hello. I joined to ask for the advice of the many experts on here, but got distracted by many of the hilarious threads and comments before actually doing what I was meant to.

Here’s my issue - we had the conservatory reroofed and walls plaster boarded and skimmed (by a professional - I’m not one of those visitors that has decided I can DIY what takes years to learn). The whole room is dry - we had rain last night and we now have these two wet patches in the corners. Anyone got any insight to let me know what is happening or what might need to be done to correct it as I’m guessing just banging a load of paint on won’t fix whatever the underlying issue might be.

Cheers

Could be.... My bet is the last few days weather
Rain drives @ frame @ cill sealant is poor

Plasterer is not to blame for this one ... He only has complaint from customer on the finish of his work @ Not satisfactory...

Is the height of the ground outside higher than the floor of your conservatory?

Is the new guttering catching all rainwater correctly, or is some dribbling down the wall or splashing onto the ground by the door?

If the outside wall of your conservatory is rendered, does the render go all the way down and touch ground level, or does it stop a few inches shy of ground level?
