I am a newbie, and not particularly practical but hoping to develop, please be kind.
I live in a Victorian stone built house. There are damp issues. I have done usual things such as improve ventilation and heating. However, I have read that if the original lime mortar has been replaced with cement mortar (which it has) then this can worsen the situation. Does anyone have experience of this ?
If it does worsen it; other than repointing the lot are there simpler and cost effective ways to improve things.
