I'm brewing my first ale in a cupboard where the temperature is generally
16C, but sometimes falls below this.

I know that 18C-24C is recommended for fermentation - will the lower
temperature mean that my beer is irreparably damaged or will the process
just take longer than usual ?

Any help appreciated

Should be fine. Might take a bit longer than normal. Check that fermentation
is complete before bottling.
