    Crumbling damp plaster query

Warm air inside condenses on cold external walls. In Cornwall you'll probably have local lads experienced in lime plastering, get their...

    Crumbling damp plaster query

    Can't tell from limited info and 1 pic. Probably best to get a local specialist to look at it. But from that pic alone it looks like black mould which happens in areas where there is no air circulation plus covered in wallpaper. If you can see salts on the wall the 1st thing to do would be to...

    No such thingas rising damp, improve your underfloor ventilation, check on external ground levels and investigate drains. Pound to a penny if you hack off them damp areas you've got bonding plaster or similar

    Has anybody used Natcem 35 on a tanking job. Does it work?

    Looks like it'll cost you a fortune in materials. Normally you use a Sika system which is hard work and can crack or a membrane system with a sump pump which is also expensive but effective if installed correctly. Unless you're in central London or a very posh area it's generally not cost...
