I personally was not able to check this. However the plasterer has been used by our family since the 1970's and is, we hope somewhat reliable. A further update. No damp patches have reappeared as yet, but there appears to be one, long, straight patch of effloresence underneath the kitchen wall. Almo...

After the recent and ongoing wet weather, we seem to have damp patches again! Living room, dining room and kitchen (under the window AND on the internal wall). All seems sound with the window frames and all around, brickwork etc. Some degradation to the pointing but nothing serious. I accept that no...

There hadn't been a damp course until we moved in in November, but there is a chemical one now. Our plasterers dotted and dabbed over where the old plaster had been hacked off and red...
