Hi, new to the forum. Done a fair bit of skimming /plastering and recently become self employed as a general builder/property maintenance man.
Went to have a look at a small job tonight and theres a large damp patch running down the corner of the property. She said it was due to the overflow running down that area outside the house.The wall felt bone dry, but obviously had been damp before, its a stone wall which has been rendered smooth. The wall is only 3x4 metres so I suggested battoning the wall and using 1 inch celotex, plasterboarding, and skimming. Just wondering whether the damp would work its way through the timber or insulation and reappear, also is there any product i can slap on the damp to help it hold it back before I plasterboard it. Any advice would be great! Cheers, lee:RpS_thumbup:
