O what to do? Help

[Ya momma]

Here goes folks need your advice I'm not a plaster but a fairly good DIY er. Got a sold wall victorian house which we are currently trying to renovate to be our forever home so no bodging!. The problem is the kitchen external wall. The wall was covered in black mold behind the cabinets this mainly due to damp coming up through the badly laid concrete floor ( blue pavers above the slate dpc out side see pic now been removed )which is going to be removed and laid properly .I was planning to board the walls and ceiling but worried about damp ,condensation getting behind the boards or cabinets again and causing issues of mould again. Do you guys think I should dab and board the external wall or just board just below were the cabinet hight will be and leave the bricks work bare? And maybe put some taste full vents in the kick Boards?. The walls were cement rendered and plastered before this must have been done in the 70s looking how old the units were. What you guys Think? Regards FNG

Knock off all the plaster, let it dry out or stick a dehumidifyer in room to draw moisture out (if its that bad), throws a few bags of stones outside as a soak away rather than relaying the pavers. Replaster the walls, make sure you stay 2" above the floor (damp course) so it can breathe, re-do kitchen, live happily ever after.
