Possible frost damage due to internal insulation

PBSpears · 27 Nov 2023

I'm considering internal insulation on our solid brick wall Victorian house. My biggest unresolved concern is the possibility that lowering the temperature of the walls will cause frost damage to the brickwork. The bottom metre of about half the house is rendered and I suspect that is covering frost damaged bricks that were wet due to rising damp. The remainder of the brickwork is in good condition with only a handful of bricks damaged. Are there any brick experts in the UK who advise? In the US you can get "frost dilatory" tests done, but I don't know of anything like that here. Do architects know about this stuff?
