Hi,
I have an old Victorian house and the bay window internally suffers from condesation and rising damp as there is no cavity to the wall its internal plaster straight onto solid brick wall.
My question is this:
As there is no DPC with the house being old i was going to inject the cream DPC from outside then as i have removed all of the plaster internally as it was falling off any way back to exposd brick would it o.k to pin a plastic sheet membrane to the brick with timber batons that are pinned to the underside of the sill and the floor so as not to puncture the membrane then fit 25mm xtratherm insualtion between these batons and then plasterboard over. Or will this create further problems.
Does anyone know a good replastering additive that you add the the sand and cement mix for internal damp proofing after DPC injection as i have other area's to treat
Any help on these matters would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
