Handy Tips
- Try to identify the source of the problem where possible damp is coming from
- Avoid spending Thousands on Damp-Proofing systems and waterproofing of walls, if the walls are not completely dry the same problem will re occur and your plaster will flake again
- Expensive paints are not necessarily the best option for a damp wall as it is more concentrated and doesn’t allow the wall to “ breath” Often less expensive paints are more diluted
- And let the wall breath which is better for the drying out process
