Hi,
I have had conflicting answers on how to resolve my damp issues in my end of terrace, victorian house. Id really appreciate some assistance / contact details on who best to consult to get this solved.
I have got rotting skirting boards and soft blown plaster along the main outside wall of the property.
Apparently work was undertaken this some 20 years ago (evidence is there that damp work was done - replastered 1m from floor. This is problem area.
Outside, when it rains heavilly and with the way in which the camber in the road, all the rain pours right along this wall. Inadequent drainage.
I appreciate i need to divert this water perhaps, but do i need to inject walls again (ive heard this is a waste of time) and replaster.
Or do i have this work done, and not worry about the outside problem.
I have spoken to the highways authority but dont hold much luck with them doing something about it.
thanks, Chris
