It’s the plaster that’s the problem not the bricks. Take plaster off bricks are dry

That why your mug of tea and bowl of cereal every morning drink your brew and milk? (Baked clay) look mate believe in rising damp I’ve spent most my life treating it. I just don’t think everyone knows the facts

Clay (waterproof) shaped and naked into a brick is waterproof by design. Blue engineering brick is a much denser tighter packed brick. Used as a dpc moons ago but all bricks are technically designed as waterproof

No I don’t Usually because of wrong plaster, bonding/browning. I personally believe in rising damp but I also know not every situation is either or and know how to treat it

Rising damp is a bit of a myth. Cold condenses on the lowest part of the wall, giving evidence to the myth of rising damp. You need to raise the thermal temperature of the wall with either thermal boards or limelite or sand and cement with waterproofed to stop it gathering

Yeah makes no sense does it, charge the maximum amount for the best job you can do. Ridiculous

Every job you say seems backwards and hard work. But fair play if it works for you pal

Like it’s a game for you? Lol

Bricks are waterproof by design mate, limelite or waterproof s/c is another barrier from your bricks. Then if you water repellant on top of that, rain will be no issue

You make it too easy for them mate bitch be on soon too

Car Carl the plasterer will say you learned that on your course haha

I’ve just googled to double check you @lurpak. Good man lol

Use sand and cement with waterprofer or lime lite, new dpc if necessary. Spray the external with exterior water repellant, no probs.

As much as everyone wants to, it’s hard to ignore @Andyg ‘s threads lol

No thanks pal but I’m sure you mate wouldn’t mind it lol
