Rising damp in kitchen

Question

Who would I need to come out to look at a damp patch in my kitchen? I'm guessing rising damp on a wall that used to be external, now part of extension. Would it be a builder or a damp specialist?

Thanks

The internal wall is probably sitting in the solem and drawing dampness from that. Get a survey to be sure.  Depending on access to the solem it can get lagged at point of contact.

Hi I would advise you to ask a damp specialist to come and take a survey and a test to see if it is rising damp and maybe ask them to inject the walls to stop this.

A damp specialist will find out exactly what the problem is, most builder's can find the issue too. I'd suggest a different builder to one who did your extension.
