Swanwick Project – Damp Remediation & Full Internal Replastering
The customer’s property was suffering from high damp readings, particularly around the external walls. The existing issues appeared to be associated with previous damp-proofing work carried out using unsuitable materials.
The external walls consisted of traditional soft red brick, which requires compatible, breathable materials. Unfortunately, the previous repairs had involved the use of hard cement-based materials internally and cement pointing externally, potentially restricting the natural movement of moisture through the masonry.
Work carried out:
- Hacked off the affected areas of damp plaster.
- Prepared the exposed walls for remedial treatment.
- Installed a damp-proof mesh tanking system to the affected areas to help prevent moisture pe*******on.
- Boarded out the relevant sections where required.
- Fully over-skimmed the internal surfaces to provide a smooth, clean finish throughout.
The aim was to address the existing damp-related issues, provide an appropriate barrier against moisture in the treated areas and leave the internal walls with a fresh, professional finish.
