Rendering after damp proofing

As above. Render it after new dpc installed. 4-1 sand and cement and plenty of waterproofer in both coats of render. Then skim smooth

Normally you strip the plaster off the wall 1metre from the floor upwards. Then the wall is injected with damp proof, Then its suggested you render the walls then plaster the rendering.

The process is as follows: Firstly remove skirting boards to the area being treated. Remove plaster to one metre in height. Install new chemical damp proof course. Reinstate the plaster with either a renovating plaster or a sand cement render with the inclusion of warterproof additives. Apply skim coat of car lite finishing plaster. Refit skirting boards provided no rot is resent.

I would render it to be on the safe side and add a waterproofer to the the scratch coat. Have double the protection

New recommendations ar 1200 high and never use a fibrous plasters below this height unless on new build with new doc. Old brickwork should always be rendered using the correct materials and chemicals or the damp can fail short term.

It is interesting that you ask this question on MyBuilder rather than tackling the specialist that offered the quote. Before proceeding with any damp remedial work, I would recommend employing the services of an independent damp specialist. There are quite a few here on MyBuilder and probably one in your area. I have seen many cases where DPCs have been installed that were totally unnecessary. There can be other issues involved besides rising damp - such as penetrating damp - which a specialist DPC firm may choose to ignore However, if a DPC were to be advised then an independent surveyor could explain the type of treatment that is needed and why. That said, you can read up on the specifications for reinstatement following a chemical DPC by googling: BS6576:2005. This code of practice will give you all the information that you need Regards, Chris
