Ask a questionDamp Proofing
My neighbour and I have a problem with penetrating dampness on a gable wall. Was wondering what the best option would be?

We have had a couple of builders round to give us advice and quotes. One builder recommended K-Rend and another suggested roughcasting. Which would be the best option to go with? Thanks
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

best option is to wait until spring warmer drier weather for this sort of work ,if the existing roughcast is blown take all off back to brickwork,seal and unibond and re-render 1 scratch coat,1 top coat smooth render with waterproof agent added ,3 coats good quality masonry paint ,

If you want to render it, apply sbr slurry, scratch coat 4 plastering sand 1 cement with feb and water proofer.
Float coat 5 plastering sand 1 cement, feb and no water proofer.
Optional 1 lime in each mix.
