I had a rising damp issue because the original slate damp course had been breached. I’m hoping I’ve cured the problem by lowering the course of blocks that were causing the problem, letting the wall dry out and inserting dry rods a brick above the original damp course just as a precaution.
On the interior I’ve chopped all the plaster away but want to know whether I should replaster using lime or gypsum?
I will want to paper over it when I redecorate and not sure if I can do this with something like ‘limelite’.
Also if I brush a waterproofer onto the interior brickwork before attempting to replaster will this stop the plaster adhering to the wall?
Thanks for your help.
