Hi all, my wife and I along with our 2 children have bought our forever home. It's in Coalport Shropshire. I've taken the house back to bare brick, ceiling joists plumbing and heating all stripped out. ( We have very understanding in-laws) our problem is, it's in a conservation area. Built in the gorge. Damp is our problem. As the rear and side of the property is partly under ground. I've dug out 10 inches all thru. But rain water is entering. Not at an alarming rate tho. Could anybody give me any ideas of how to stop it. I could dig around the property but that's a big task and budget is small. We need new hardwood windows! That's another thing tho. Thank in advance if anyone can help.
