My neighbour pointed out to me that the wall around my outside utility door was soaking. Turns out the gutter had dropped from the low roof of the extension and all the rain water (for gawd knows how long) had obviously been pouring over the gutter and down the wall.
There is almpst a perfect triangle of damp staining (and some moss) on the brickwork.
I have now got the gutter repaired and working correctly - what is the best way to dry the brickwork out? The position of the door doesnt really get much sun in the summer never mind in the winter.
Should I just leave to dry out naturally with air and wind, or try and enclose it with tarpaulin or something and stick some sort of warm blower onto the bricks?
There is no sign of any damp internally, walls are facing brick with block inside.
