part of your problem is that you don't know whether it was the missing cowl and loose pointing which was causing the damp. it's possible that it was, though an absence of damp further up the wall would suggest it may not have been. as @markc said get builder out to check. the other option is to dig out below dpc to see if there is high moisture level below which could potentially show a failed DPC.

What counts as a medium or high end finish?
Simplysimon replied to smart51's topic in New House & Self Build Design
got to disagree with that, all of that is someone who want's everyone to come in and go 'wow'. if the finish isn't great it still won't be high end, just a house someone wanted to impress others with. as @Jilly says, style and taste with also care in the detailing. -
Bend in wall...how to fit wall plate?

bittern? -
anything over 500mm?

lobbing it over the 1100mm handrail? child with small head should not have been below
-
along the bottom of the balusters to stop anything falling. if balusters are 95mm apart then no need for kickboard. you will need some method to stop bottom of balusters moving though

whos design? why no fascia and why the birdsmouth on the inside of the wallplate? -
any space on a stair which includes handrails, and therefore this, must not allow the passage of a 100mm sphere

first house we bought, putting an extention up, dug up concrete at the back of the house and found one of these still in fairly good nick, hardly any rust but the handle is not the best

and how is that fixed?

Low spots on gutter run..?
Simplysimon replied to Crowbar hero's topic in Rainwater, Guttering & SuDS
a level gutter, depending on length and depth, will run before it overflows. if you can't see it from the grouind it's fine. -
ahh, H&S at it's best! what about a stair co for wire and fixings? tbh they may just get it from chandlery and re-sell

being really pedantic, they are, just smaller triangles. don't worry about being pedantic there are far worse on here 😂
-
why would you think they woudn't? new build or refit? if a new build would need the 838mm for access

Solar power payback takes much longer than you think
Simplysimon replied to Radian's topic in Photovoltaics (PV)
that was my take, however, i can drive in comfort for 5-600 miles without a break and arrive just as refreshed -
