Hi, i'm just after a bit of advise about my external wall which does not have any dpc.
My house is an end of terrace built in the early 1900ish, the builders ran out of money when building the terrace leaving the external wall with no dpc as there was supposed to be another house built next to it ( hope that makes sense).
I have checked under the floorboards to verify there is no dpc, there is however a dpc under the floor joists that are resting on the external wall.
The neighbours have a concrete floor around their garage that touchs my external wall. Should i remove a channel of the concrete next to the house to reduce the amount of water ingressed by the concrete and possibly add some airbricks?
Do you think that it would be worth getting a chemical injection?
Is there a specific type of plaster that could be put on the internal walls as most of the plaster is blown and will need to be replaced?
Any advice on what the best way to stop the damp will be gratefully received. I have a few photos in my folders named 'damp'
thanks rob
