Thanks for the detailed reply and the questions @Bobbo!

1. Yes the problem is only on the ground floor - just around the front door
   
2. The area is pretty much exactly level. Water doesn't puddle anywhere in the area
   
3. Gutters are all clear and fully operational
   
4. The previous owner cemented roof tiles along the area to the left of the sidelight - to make it look pretty i guess. I don't think they were that appropriate and over the course of the last year have crumbled off.
   
   

I had a damp specialist over last week who suggested a few injections into the wall (solid wall not cavity wall). A builder friend has suggested that the injections aren't that effective so wanted to look at wider issues too.

Any other thoughts?

On a side note - do you think these issues are likely to be covered by home insurance?

Cheers again!
