Plastering over damp?

[Zulley]

Ive just had a new DPC put all round my house.

The walls above the DPC are going to be still damp, now i have 3 options:

a) membrane and plaster (a bit expensive)

b) just plaster it (but i dont want the damp thats in the wall to come out and mess it up)

c) paint concrete on the wall then plaster over that (this is what my plasterer has said, he says it works but ive just never heard of it before)

What would you do, there is no damp going up the walls anymore, just the damp that is being held in, i hope that makes sense.

Thanks.

Don't quite understand your post!

Damp being held in by what, can't you let it dry out.?
By sealing it you are only going to trap it!

hmmm, that would be an idea, didnt really think of that

how long will i have to wait for it to dry out though before i plaster it?

Dehumidifier to speed things up.
