Hi guys and thank you again. I had both the damp proofer and the local rep from triton Chemicals round today. I think they are both in agreement that it's below standard and the rep highlighted everything that needs to be to rectify it. The damp proofer has said he'll send some guys round...

Hi and thanks again. I will check if there's any writing on it, but searching through google and what paperwork i have, i believe it's a Triton Platon System. I was going to contact them on Monday and see if i could get a "best practice" and installation guide. The rooms covered were two...

Thank you for your very quick reply and those links are very interesting. This membrane is only running around the first floor and not in a cellar, so there's not really a great deal of damp coming through, but the external ground level is still slightly higher than the internal. We thought...

Thank you very much for the reply. I think that i may go to building regs and ask for advice on everything and see what the current standards are. I may then try to cover myself by going one step above their requirements. At this stage i only really want to build the floor structure so i can...

Hi, I'm sorry if some of these questions have already been answered elsewhere in this forum. If they have, can someone please point me in the right direction? We've just bought a small, 100 year old, mid terrace property and are in the process of a complete renovation. It wasn't intended...
