ryaldinhio 4,195 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Having some issues with penetrating damp and the dashing has cracks all over. Knew it was a problem when we bought the house but all this wet weather has brought it to the fore so looking to have it sorted this year. Double brick no cavity so normal sand and cement render Im told is a no-no. the newer waterproof and breathable types K.rend or similar are meant to be the ones to go for. Anyone do this type of work, or have a recommendation around doncaster? cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,042 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Having the same problems myself but I'm hoping a nice thick layer of paint when it warms up will sort it for a couple of years while I get some cash together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scot123 13 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Paint won't keep the water out. Sand/cement render is fine when adding a waterproof agent in the mix. If that water doesn't find a way out it'll just get worse whenever it freezes as it expends and pushing it away from wall 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If that water doesn't find a way out it'll just get worse whenever it freezes as it expends and pushing it away from wall I did rendering jobs with my Dad that are still sound after 35 years or so, proper scratch coat, well finished top coat, water proofer in both, no worries. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
