i inherited a house and i am too doing it up for renting over the next few years. anyway i have gone for the tile option, house is in quite a nice area and it gies a better impression. And still relativly cheap. ^_^

Final update. Went for bonding and Render in the end and all is good in the world. Took a while to dry out but all good, :) cheers for everyones advice. :mrgreen:

what about carbide bodning the exisiting and rendering over?

Cheers for all the advice, the house was built in 1956, and yes the tiles were pretty heavy duty, spotted directly onto the render floor to ceiling. the room is 3200mm by 2900 so its pretty square. tiles to be used will be brick shaped white/cream (not that colour matters) brick tiles...

for Option 2. - Complete removal of existing render required?

to be fair i didnt empty it fully just took al little of the water out. figured overflow meant well overflow.. anyhow just wish they would fix it once and for all then can concentrate on the condensation problem. or move.... :?

brutal - well thank god its rented :) Think were safe from that drastic action at the moment but spose well have to see. :?

The house is safe from old mine works not affected in this area. out of interest - what about the A77 error Condensate trap full of water,

funnily enough emptied the trap a few times. :) guy came and couldn't explain why the flue no longer fitted, house must have settled he said, 18th century house i said probably pretty settled by now. :shock:
