Low-level moisture can be misdiagnosed, so the visible symptoms, masonry, plaster, external ground conditions and ventilation details should be considered together.

Complete the specified wall, floor or ventilation repairs and leave surfaces ready for the agreed finishing stage.
The images follow the existing project sequence from opening up and treatment through to reinstatement.
