Hi, House has some minor damp issues where the floor screed bridged the sand and cement wall finish.
After taking a off some very hard patchwork it reveals bitumen type blinded with sand on bricks so looks like an attempt was made over 20 years ago.
Removal of skirting has also removed 2 " high sand and lime or cement render ( its ex local authority house c1947)
To my untrained eye there appears to be mineral/salt deposits on some of the lower bricks.
Question is on type of plaster that should avoid any future problems.
If Dri-coat is cement based could just use sand and cement?
Assuming that the cause of the damp problem is fixed, what would you use?
Thanks
