Hi all!
I'm hoping to start renovation on my kitchen soon into the new year.
The problem is three walls of it are external walls and are 9" solid walls and thus damp penetrates through them (yes someone has tried to inject a DPC lol).
I'm not sure what the best course of action is, although I've already decided I need to build a stud wall away from the external walls.. So, do I need to ventilate the gap? Tank the walls? Add insulation in the gap or anything else I haven't thought of?
I've had conflicting advice from two plasterers so far..
Thanks all!
