As we have a variety of people on here all wanting help people in need, I have a question about plastering etc.
A close friend of mine is in the process of buying a house and has commissioned an inspection of a wall approx 3m wide due to signs of dampness. The wall is solid and is between 230 and 300 mm thick, material unknown by me.
The report recommended the following actions on this wall.
1) Installation of a Trigel water based DPC system to the wall (outlined on our sketch plan to BS6576/1985)
2) PLASTER WORK – To be carried out by our company. Remove contaminated plaster up to approximately 1 metre (Unless otherwise denoted on sketch plan), clean the surface salts from the brickwork and replaster using Tilcon limelight renovating cement backing plaster and limelight high impact finishing plaster; to walls as shown per sketch plan
Any one know what this is on about, how easy would it be to do for a DIY (competent person), how much materials would be for this, and how much it would cost for a pro to do it.
Anyone got any idea? York area.
TIA
