Thanks for simply reminding me about filters? I was so fixed on adding a cleaner that i didnt think past this. It makes sense to fit filter, as atm there's knowhere to dose the system from. No pipework high up or no towell rad to pour into bleed area. So ive put my argument to the Custard...

What would be your go to cleaner? Have you had success using x800?

So I've never bothered to find out? But the cheaper cleaners from SF, are they similar chemicals to Branded stuff? Is X200 going to do anything worth while ,or is it best to use something else

It's not working because it's downstairs,lol

What's people's.take on cleaner? I've really only used the "Trade Save" brands. Apart from when I worked at BG and it was X100,X200 etc Is there any preference in brands? I want to clean a Potterton Primed combi. Previously I would have sorted issues out by cleaning specific part or...

Im affraid that im too late? And that you are dead by now? If you are in Pergatory? And can pop out , now & again? Can you give me a "Heads Up ?" On what to expect? As the Estate Agent, wrote in the house report..." Signs/areas of asbestos in property? Im left confused, as its not...

Ohh yes of course. Im in contact alot. Thing is the customer found it hard to find a fitter to do job, start 2 finish. Guys would fit a fire & not a surround. And guys would only fit surround. madnes. So he told me to brick directly up both sides, turned out 3 blocks high. Its still a grey...

Two chimneys in house arn't built the same. Both builders openings are within MI's, but 1 chimney has larger opening area inside the builders opening. Im concerned when the fitter installs DFEF fire, the products wont immediately go. So i need to brick up sides, but as i get higher , just...

Does anyone know of a additive to stop salts permiating through dab? DRYZONE sell a damp system but wot about a diy approach

You say dont mix anything else into damp resisted adhesive? I guess it'll weaken or damage the mix? Have you seen a way to use DAB with additives?

sorry.. its a wooden floor, this was corrected early on, ta

Understood yes. I was aware of that, as ive seen Custard's home's where Dab's show through plasterboard because like you say, they act like a "Water Highway" Guaranteed to transfer damp to plasterbord face. But ive based my approach on ridding the damp on some experience & also alot of...

So all comments have greatly improved my understanding of so called "Rising Damp" And its really opened my eyes. As alot of you experienced trades have said, "Rising Damp" is widely mis-diagnosed. So like i have now done.....Finding then sorting the issues relating to why there are damp walls...

tell80......That blog was great. If its true, he totally screws my plans up,lol. only saving grace is im using plasterboards with the cream daabs containing additives. Itll go bad slower than wet plaster finishes for sure

One last question, If you were me, not a plasterer, but competent to patch up & do a wall or two. Would you board or render with a lime mix? Obviously cost comes into it also, and i wont be as fast as you plastering
