Drying time : condensation in conservatory wall

Hi

Had a conservatory built (4m x 3.2m) in January the left-hand wall o which consistes of a 6ft high wall with a 30 cm height transom (spelling?) window above with glass roof. The wall is brick wit insulation then breeze block then dry lined and skimmed. It has a dam proof membrane etc.

Last week a small puddle of water appeared at the base of the wall - d not think it was from water ingress - but from condensation build-u along ridge where transome window meets roof and then seeping dow between brick and breeze block. Builder came and fitted and re-seale transome and checked it all out.

My question therefore is given that clearly this puddle was caused b quite alot of condensation - probably now sodden insulation and give the pearmeable nature of breeze blocks - how long should it take fo the wall to dry out ?

After a week the breeze block at the base of the wall is still visibl damp (can see this as skirting board is not yet fitted) ..... & as ye no reappearance of puddle !

Any advice much appreciated.

Ti
