Sorry for the repeat.
The first two are from the ground floor and the last 4 are from the first floor directly above it. I had to fix the roof recently (3 floor house) but not sure if it's all from there.
That's a joke right? I got a plasterer to give me a quote tomorrow, but am I wasting my time? Should I rather get a "damp specialist" to find what the source or can the plasterer figure it out? Also have heard huge con artistry regarding damp work in general so really unsure what to do (other than moving my dehumidifier up there)Looks like you might have rising, penetrating and condensatory damp.

No idea, this is the outside where I may have been conned into thinking water was penetrating by my roofer who tried to get the plastering job after he finished the roof. It's a Victorian property and a quick google suggest brick or local stone. Damn, I can't believe I can't easily find out.Is the house stone?
its a spongy thermal membrane. 4mm thick.You skim it? Looks like a final wall finish itself.
Its looking much better after getting trickle vents sorted , even though I was proper ripped off. Well the last area/ photo isnt looking better, wallpaper is bubbled; still its not got worse, that could stilll be from the now repaired roof.
Will a decent plasterer be able to easily see if theres still water coming through from outside once its been ripped out? or do I need to get an independent damp surveyor just in case?
Ta.
ok, Wykamol says skim it, but if its a bit spongy doesn't the skim crack easily/fall off if something bumps it?its a spongy thermal membrane. 4mm thick.
you glue it on like tiles with a notch trowel then multifinish on top
