    Of course not. I dont need you to tell me use 4-w1 mix or get your trowel, stick it in the bucket.......you know what i mean? But the damp works i feel are critical. So the sequence and the correct materials are important to me, nice one m8

    It does look good doesnt it. But add the cost to the salt neutraliser and the other one needed. The cost might be high, i dunno

    I was trying to understand this? It seemed that there were occasions where lime was best. Then times where Darbo was best? Saying Lime lets walls breath, ive used darbo before and damp came back. But i also used SBR. You said the same, SBR isnt right for this sorta job.

It resists the formation of salts in, or at, the masonry surface, without the need for a sand:cement render and acts as a primer for Dryzone Salt...

    I fancy using this....Dryzone express Replastering System. And boarding the walls instead. Limiting decoration and wet trades. It looks like its like expanding foam stuff?? Comes in foil sausages. Not sure if they fit a silicone gun

    I was thinking using these for hallway wall. Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods, drilled at 150mmcenters i think. Then salt neutraliser, render etc. People keep saying Tanking is last resort? Shouldnt i tank before rendering? Also do i use lime mortar or sand & cement? So many things to do

    I thought that. So more air bricks maybe. Im not a fan of internal vent on chimney breast. But if it means me not getting a return call, its worth it.
