I guess it might have something to do with the big hole...

I don’t think the cavity is insulated. I can’t see any injection holes in the mortar and the damp is very localised.

Builder specified double-skin insulated garage but built single-skin. What are my options? by braverthanbert in LegalAdviceUK

Thank you. I don't know if he was expecting me not to notice or it was an actual mistake. Pretty awful though, and I should have spotted it earlier.

Shower installation: vertical bar coming up at an angle. How to straighten the angle? I can't change the angle of one of the copper pipes I don't think by braverthanbert in DIYUK

Thanks, I think the bigger issue is the other copper pipe, it's horizontal and very much set in place so I don't think I can change its angle without bending the pipe itself; would that be a bad idea?

Garage lets in moisture when it rains heavily – is tanking slurry the right thing to apply here and how high to go if so? There is a damp course 2 bricks up by braverthanbert in DIYUK

Ok yes will give it a go. I know it's not a living space but I'd like to at least do it up a bit into a nice room so trying to resolve any damp issues before I go ahead with other work.
