Hello all,
I have a single skin brick lean-to that I'd like to convert into a useable room and then bring a door through into the main house. The lean-to isnt showing any signs of damp at the moment so do I need to get the walls tanked or would coats of bitumen paint do the trick? Also once the coating is on how do we go about insulating the wall before its plastered, if we batten it wouldnt we just be creating a weakness in the dampproofing?
Many thanks for any advice
