    Is the Permagard failing?

    Thank you for this, I haven't had much experience with Damp and it quite daunting when you're renovating a flat and the client asks why the bathroom is lagging. I'll get back in Monday and tear away the tape. Put a roofing batten down and re-dab on top of that. Couldn't thank you enough!

    Is the Permagard failing?

    So when the permagard is installed it’s pinned to the wall with the plastic plugs with the seals to prevent damp coming though right? What’s to stop damp coming though the gap at the bottom where the permagard meets the floor? I’m not questioning you, I’m just trying to understand the system...

    Is the Permagard failing?

    And no there is not drainage channel. I’ve also used the fleece strips to keep the bottom of the permagard tight to the wall to prevent movement for the dabs. I take it this should be removed for airflow as well?

    Is the Permagard failing?

    They may be a stone wall backed onto one of the external walls. The other side of the door lining in the picture still has the old Newton lath with a grey undercoat and skimmed. There are no problems on this wall.

    Is the Permagard failing?

    I think it’s cavity but can’t get access to behind the wall yet. I’ll be investigating today.

    Is the Permagard failing?

    Hi, Started a bathroom renovation a few weeks back and noticed some tiles on one of the external walls was bowing so decided to investigate as the tiles needed to come off anyway. The old Newton lath circa 1970s (Which I was told on here) has perished but didn't seem to be any damp coming...

    Old damp proof membrane perished.

    So we have cut away the plasterboard 400mm from the floor all the way around the external walls. The plaster hasn’t properly dried out and it had been a week since plastering. There is moisture in the internal side of the permagard membrane. Would the plaster and dabs create moisture on the side...

    Old damp proof membrane perished.

    If it has returned, and let's say the waste to the toilet has been properly sealed. is this fillet seal in conjunction with their tanking potentially solve the problem. https://www.permagard.co.uk/permaseal-fillet-seal

    Ok, Thanks, I will go around the bottom and clean it up. I've put a heater in that corner and it has seemed to of dissipated. I'm back there Monday so will see if it has returned.

    Old damp proof membrane perished.

    Hello all, I've recently started re-modernising a bathroom and noticed that the wall behind the tiles had some play to it. I originally thought it was plasterboard but after a closer inspection, it was a damp proof membrane with what looked like sand/cement topped with a skim. The membrane had...

    multi problems (tearing/striping)

    We have had this problem (Tigering) for a while and experimented and found this routine is perfect. We add water early to reduce resistance between the wall and the trowel. They are a few main reasons why it happens Have heard loads of gangs moaning about multi finish changing and noticed it...

    Insulation render rates for the south west region

    We have used Parex base coat and fine sand top coat plenty of times through a contractor on a day rate. We split off over a year ago and have been asked to price a house in the south west region and was curious to know the going rates per m2. Thanks

    Dot & Dab or Stud?

    Hello everyone, I have a garage I would like to convert into a small room and the external wall is single skin brick... I would like to know whether to D&D it with 50mm insulation board or timber/metal stud and insulate? I have the skill set to do either and realise that D&D would be the...
