Whatsort of damp symptoms?
Render is not necessarily waterproof unless a treatment applied(exterior paint/waterproofer), breezeblock will absorb water, as will Artex.
If it is only single skin, could be penetrating or condensation, if cavity, likely to be condensation/ ventilation, but need to know the signs of damp.
