Thats exactly what i want fella. Thanks alot. I dont want to have to explain why its failed, after ive said to my Custard.."Im gonna use this additive & that damp proof system, and this is what to expect". Imagine in 6 months time for him to call? lol. Guaranteed if i got a call, id know...

sxturbo....its all good. Its water of a ducks back,lol Fuc@in# Quacker Jacks,lol, ha ha ha

Its getting late lads anyway, thanks alot yeh, lovely

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

sxturbo, sorry if you feel youve already told me. ok? I appreciate your patience ans experience, believe me. Im not brand new either, but i know damp is a bugger if i get it wrong. I live in same street,so imagine , i dont want a knock at my door in 6 months,lol

Dont worry lads, youve all been spot on. I appreciate all your comments, because now, im clearer about the Why's? etc. So theres no right or wrong for me, cheers

Thanks, yeh i did mention that to Custard! That the plasterboard can wick up water if installed direct on ground. Thanks, as ive said, there's alot of techniques to get right. Also steps to do & not to do, depending on buildings previous materials. i.e not using darbo if its a older...

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

Avoid cement? So whats best? Does my Plasterboard system sound good? It'll reduce my workload also. Im going to cap off chimney's myself. And customer wants be to remove the fire chair brick and surrounding bricks, so yeh, i need somewhere to stick a vent. Floors are excellent. In front...

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 says that..... The system utilises a salt inhibitor cream and a salt & damp resistant adhesive to adhere plasterboard to salt contaminated walls. 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

Ohh god,lol, yeh true

penetrating damp? really? Where? Chimney? Hows it penetrating? ha ha, sorry buddy, so many questions, ill get you all some beers,lol

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.

Ohh right, good job you said that. I didnt know the 2 salt solutions were differant. ok Isnt SBR upto the job like? Ive always thought it was good for other jobs anyway.

Yeh thanks, i admit i didnt measure from floor to wooden rail, as it looks well over 1meter high anyway. Ill check it
