Render over damp proof course - how to remove

You will need to mark a line on the wall where your damp course really is, then with a grinder cut a line maybe an inch or two above the line, then with a small breaker (kango), remove the render from below your cut. You will then need a "render stop bead" fit this half inch above the damp course and render back from the bead to your cut. Job done. Make sure you research your render techniques and mix as its important to get it right first go. Failing that put up a job on mybuilder.com As for the ground level, ensure its always at least 150mm below the damp course. Good luck Dan

you will need to cut the render as local have said, however if there is a problem let the current owners sort it out its their problem not yours, i would steer clear until you know the damp problem is down to this, sorry to be a kill joy but damp is a serious issue if not resolved properly, if they wan to pass the problem onto you id sooner spend my money on a house without damp isues
