Yeh I know but how do you diagnose it by just looking at a. Wall? The problem arose in the 70's when rising damp and replacement wall ties we're invented. All that drilling would loosen the snots and I would say wall insulation caused it also. At the end of the day he has been ripped off with work that didn't need doing and it looks like more problems have been caused, as usual human error.
Need advice on plastering penetrating damp

it was more with the lime breaking down ,pure pointing ect ,that filled the cavity .A damp meter in the right hands can tell a blocked cavity from rising damp
Lol so the damp if any will come inside and the funny thing is you gave them the rod for your own back lol

The failed dpc was injected, the new one is physical.
Yeh there are plenty of air bricks.
It's clear now that the outside walls need repointing/rendering and instead of being told that I was told I need new dpc
