Need some advice on the porch and a damp issue I have.  As the external block work is saturated with water and the joiners have joined the porch to it some damp is coming in horizontally and a small piece vertically.

 
What would you recommend I do to resolve the issue?

The blockwork is damp because it's unfinished and soaking up rain I assume?  What finish will that have render or something else?

 

I suspect all the problems will go away once the finishing coat is applied to the blockwork.

The bottom half will be stone slips that will be glued on and the top will be render.   Would it be worth putting on a liquid seal for additional protection?
