Hi
I have a problem with penetrating damp in each of my south facing solid brick upstairs walls, the problem has been far worse this year due to the extremely bad weather. The external wall is pebble dash rendered and there are no cracks visible which could allow damp through, even around the windows. A builder who I’m assured has experience of this type of thing is also bemused. To cut a long story short, my builder is proposing 2 coats of waterproof paint on top of the render and overpainted with Sandtex in the magnolia colour it currently is.
My question is, does this sound like a suitable solution to this problem??
