Hey,
So my Mam has had a damp patch in her house. The damp patch was in the corner of a room. Figured out the course was and external brick garden wall was too close the house and the guttering was dripping into this cavity thus penetrating the brick and causing the damp. This has been sorted the wall has been chopped back and the wall has been allowed to dry. Water penetration no longer and issue.
Problem - see pic first
As you can see ive chopped the old plaster back which had blistered right back to the brick.
Question is the current render/plaster level from the brick is approx 16mm deep. Im quite good at plastering so just wanted to patch this rather then take off large amount of uneffected plaster. I was planning on just putting a board in then creating a joint channel in exisitng plaster then scrim/fill/plaster.
And finally... What is best way to hang plasterboard? Dab and dot? thin batterns and 9mm boarding? Do i need to paint the brick with dampcourse paint (although cause has been sorted.
My mate said i should just render and then plaster like the rest of wall. Advice please, id prefer to use boards though, cleaner.
Any help appreciated
