Hi all
I've recently renovated an old semi detatched house. The internal walls have been plastered. My problem is, one of the walls (external) is plaquing us with mould in very specific areas. We have taken a few bricks out an emptied the cavity (which was blocked with old motar) and rebricked them, this didn't work. We then took the bottom course of bricks out, put new damp course under them an rebricked, that didn't work. In the process, we also had our inside floor renewed, new damp course, insulation and screed. The plasterer cut out a problematic area on the plaster, re boarded an plastered, problem is still there. I was then told to PVA the wall, which I have now done, but there is still little "flowers" of mould coming back!! It might be of interest, the wall use to be an old coal house wall, if that helps??!!
PLEASE HELP!!!
