Hi,
The house I'm renovating is suffering from penetrating damp. Is rendering or some kind of textured coating a suitable fix? I'd prefer to repoint except its been bodged so many times it will be difficult to end up with anything thats looks ok.
In other areas there is evidence of rising damp - tide mark on the plaster, rotten skirting etc. I know that you can get a chemical treatment followed by replastering with a special render up to a metre, but what if I intended to dry line?
