@ProDave this is an interesting assumption, and an incredible amount of judgement for an open forum for people who are learning on this journey. The industry being filled full of people who do things differently, shoddily, and with poor advice based purely on their experience is the reason we, as homeowners, cannot trust the advice presented. The conversion was already in place, there was an existing kitchen where we intend to replace this. The builder who was used has already been removed from the project and the plaster has been removed. We have sought the guidance of multiple damp specialists. My intention here was get some perspective around the different recommendations provided from all of these people.

After having 7 different professionals come out, we have about 5 different opinions on how to tackle the problem. - Hack off the plaster to 1.2M above the internal ground level - Tanking membrane or tanking slurry (apparently better than DPC or DPM) along the length of the wall - Put damp course injections in at the height of the first block above ground level - Use Anti-condesnation paint by Permaguard - Put DPM down on the floor after concrete and self-levelling, before underlay and flooring I really hope this covers all avenues? We may have to render the outside wall or re-point and re-paint the neighbours side.

I don't have any great ideas here, but it may end up not being a canopy. My partner thinks cladding, but I can't see the vision there!

It is quite hard to touch, the black bit above the door but is stuck to the wall, it won't even peel or scrape. I also need to get the white paint off.

Hi all, May not be the right area to post but we had a porch removed and there remains some adhesive and black residue on the brick that will not come off. Any tips to remove it?

As it is not rising damp, damp course injections would not help correct?

It is the neighbours property, when we did the floor of our property we did not find DPC. Do you know how we would go about installing it? We have put insulation in now, cavity wall and in the ceiling, and loft. It may be worth noting that the property has not been heated in quite some months.

Hi all, the damp is on an exterior wall garage / extension. There was previous water damage from a leaking roof. The roof has been replaced, drainage sorted but 2 months after the plaster has been put on we are getting signs of water through again. The moisture meter says 75 but we are using a de-humidifer and that has reduced it to 62 within 4 hours. We had a damp report done back in March and that did not identify any signs of rising damp on the property but now are unsure about what to do next.
