Hello
We've just bought a 1860s brick house single skin (? eg no cavity wall). We are in a conservation area. There is concrete render on the front wall which is a newer wall. The rest of the house is just brick (phew). So no render on any old bricks. However, there is some spalling of brickwork, and some downstairs level damp (probably condensation).
Im thinking cork and cork spray, but apart from probably needing planning permission, do I need to get the bricks done first or can the spray be done over the spalling bricks to 'protect' them? And will I have to sort out inside insulation before outside, especially if I need planning permission.
I'm really confused as to what to do first (apart from fascias and soffits!)
