Hi, we have two damp exterior walls which are causing the paint to peel. I'm definitely not an expert, but I believe it's render on top of brick.
On the patio wall (the worse of the two) it really doesn't matter that the wall is damp, but it just looks poor. I was quoted £1,000 to replace the render with render mixed with sika (waterproofer) but I'm not entirely sure that this will work and it seems expensive. I wondered about just paying someone to remove the render entirely and have painted brick, but that seems a shame.
The house wall has the same problem.. but that does need to be rendered. I have no idea where the damp is coming from, but I guess it's rising from the ground beneath the house. The only issue I have is the flaking paint. What would you suggest? Thank you!!!
