Stupid damp!!

[Timeforabiscuit]

After 9 months trying to dry out our damp infused wall, got a builder in to take a look who is quoting £750 plus Vat to inject silicon, strip render down to the brickwork and then plaster and make good.

Arse....

The sensible thing is to just get it done and it will be lovely in time for Christmas - but it also means a lot of beans in toast for casa el biscuit

Anyone else facing grown up choices that they don't want to make?

Have you tried UK damp? They reccomend how you can actually cure the source of the damp, and don't just resort to chemical injection if thats not the best option. They do charge for a survey, but I've heard they are very good.

We had rising damp, supposedly, and had it all treated with injection and re-plastering and I don't rate it to be honest. If we had the problem again I would probably try a differnt route.

Cheers sadpanda I'll take a look, the damp isn't anything exotic, leaky gutter on terraced neighbours side means that the party wall is damp and the garden wall is now causing penetrating damp,

This sort of made sense - just didn't want it to be £750 plus vat sort of sense

Are your problems all sorted now?
