Damp Proofing

Old property, mentioned previously. Victorian prior to 1900 or earlier ?

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.41 PM

We live in Victorian property age Approx 1896 I believe. Is that what you referred to as old Victorian property ? Old solid wall building I believe. A builder suggested cement render.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Portland cement render will cause untold damage to your victorian property .Don't be swayed into getting it done with portland, you need a lime base rendering Go with someone who knows what they're talking about.
