Damp Proof Membranes

I had a thread that I now can't find about a month ago about some damp we had along the front wall - I got some fantastic advice on here (thank you!) and wanted to just pick your brains some more :)

We've had an independent damp surveyor out today who has looked at it, and while I won't do anything until I've read the full report, they've told me its penetrating damp as the damp proof course has breached. They've recommended getting a membrane fitted and then all the blown plaster replacing. Has anyone had this done? Is it something a builder can do or a damp company would do? And if anyone's had it done, how much (roughly) did it cost? It's along a whole front wall. I just want to get a feel for who I need to be getting quotes from, and roughly how much I should expect to be paying.

Thanks for any advice!

How old is the house?

Is it a cavity wall?

Do they mean someone has raised the ground level against the wall?

It's 1930's and raised about a foot off ground level. I think it has cavity wallss but am not 100% sure...
