Conservatory DPM & paving flags, cover with stones?
Anonymous user 28/04/2025 - 8.34 AM
My conservatory had two layers of concrete paving flags flush to the rendered walls. This was causing the render to absorb the water and ruin it. As a result I’ve cut a 100mm from the flags and I can now see the DPM. So I was thinking of putting some 20mm limestone chippings into the channel. I wondered if that would bridge the DPM and cause water to go to the wall again.
