Advice needed: How to remove rendering?

[lopez]

I have recently bought a house and it has damp problem.
The external walls of the house have been rendered about 8 years ago and they rendered it to ground level (below DPC level). I believe this is what is causing the damp problem and I want to remove the rendering to above DPC level.
How can I remove the rendering? I tried chisel and hammer and it does not work. It will damage the brickwork. I was wondering if there is any grinding machinery that I can use.
Many Thanks

SDS drill with rotary stop and chisel bit.

Where is the damp appearing?

Did you commission a survey?

It will damage the brick work however you go about it.
