Although the most common causes of damp tend to be (1) condensation or (2) leaking pipes or gutters etc there are also issues, including locally, of rising water tables. However the comprehensive nature of your problem does suggest that you might have a leaking water pipe entering the building (or worse a drainage pipe). That could account for damp on the floors and wall damp could be consequential condensation, as water evaporates from the floor and re-condenses on the walls. You need an expert. Thames water can check to see if there is a leak on the mains pipe running into the building, but if it is on your property they won't be responsible for repair (though sometimes they do repair this sort of problem).

It’s amazing how often suspected damp is actually condensation, not diagnosing for you but supporting what I think has been said earlier.

If you get stuck try Peter Ward on youtube:

his vids helped me convert a 30yr rising damp problem into a condensation solution. Good luck!

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother. 
    • Sadly they don't do the full range of post office services
