Hi,
I am just after some advice, I have just had my front extension done, for a new bathroom and bigger kitchen, it’s been about 4 weeks now but one corner wall of the bathroom plaster is not drying, the kicthen, and hallway is dry, the windows and front door has not been fitted yet, but I’m curious why is all other wall are dry but bathroom corner wall isn’t drying, it’s been about 4 weeks now since the builder has finished the plastering, during the cavity wall I did get the builders to cover the cavity wall as much as possible to protect from rain, but at times it did get a little wet. Can anyone tell me is it normal to take so long, and long it should take to dry, also before the done the plaster board the roof was done, and the cavity wall bricks was dry, so it’s taking so long to dry, I have no idea.

We can't help you. Especially with no photos. Either the corner was wet or is getting wet.

Ask your builder,
 
How has your builder or you managed to have an extension finished and plastered and have no windows or doors?
As for the damp in the plaster, after 4 weeks even in this weather with no windows it should be completely dry so moistures getting in somewhere

Piss wet through full fill cavity insulation
Should be banned
& freezing cold in there

Your welcome
 
Do you have any pictures?

Yeah it’s strange, it’s seemed like it was getting dry but when I looked at it today it seemed like it gone more wet, the windows and doors should be fitted this week, so I can put the heater and try and dry it out, I’m sending a video which was taken on Sunday and a photo taken today, today it seem’s like it’s gone more wet than Sunday’s video

Oh dear
 
Looks like moisture patches of dot n dab , will dry eventually
Tbh haven't read posts
 
he said he has moisture patches which have not dried after 12 years.
Lol , forced me to read it ( sort of ) , 4 weeks , cavity wall , kept dry , so don't think it's moisture from wet insulation , it's corner of new build so would expect dabs to be slow drying

If the brickwork got wet then it can take a while to dry and the dabs are drawing the moisture through. Once windows are in and heating etc wait a few weeks and see if it starts drying.

If you’re concerned it’s getting more wet draw a pencil line round the damp areas to see if they grow
