I am fitting a new kitchen and have pulled the old units out to find the walls badly covered in mildew and damp. I notice the wall has been plastered right down to the floor. I believe this is a no no and is what is causing the damp. I am just about to have all the walls re-skimmed, should I knock the bottom inch off the plaster back to the brick befor the plasterer comes to do the skimming?
How should I then block the inch gap to stop slimey things coming into the kitchen? Should I put a skirting board up? Will that cause the same problem as the plaster though?
Thanks in anticpation
