Hi Neil. Just a quick thank you for the videos on your channel. They are all informative, fair and most of all knowledgeable. Having just purchased a property I’m finding them invaluable so thanks again.
The penny will drop when people stop saying yes to a job. Sadly that's unlikely to happen anytime soon, so instead we have to ensure that professionals are well trained so that they can better advise clients.
Having being able both a homeowner and now builder I blame both parties. Homeowner can educate them self about the type of building they live in . And for the builder , good training and knowledge is key. Also if we base our decision on price then don’t blame others for having made decisions based on price instead on what actually needs to remediate the issue.
The external elevation was rendered at the time of my original visit but the render was removed approximately 2 weeks ago. The render was in very poor condition.
Not surprised about the damp issues then, as a time served bricklayer for more than 50 years its really disheartening that basic knowledge how of how a building works is slowly going down the pan , love your videos and your extensive knowledge 👍👍
gypsum products draw moisture in on solid walls, your supposed to use lime only to help moisture be able to pass in and out, but who the hell in this day and age is going to pay that, i know the majority of my customers do not!! but back when i started learning i was just told to s&c could i ask what your process would be please, obviously after any external pointing needed correction
Hi Richard, they should have addressed the defective external render then promoted rapid drying out before assessing what if any internal remedial work was necessary. Simply dry lining the internal was never going to solve the problem. 🤝
The plastering is atrocious I would not have paid for that

Dabbing on 9” external wall always asking for trouble.

Would of been really good to see where it was penetrating from on the outside too.

Pity you didn't show the external to see what the condition of the brickwork or is it render ?

I thought the same but since then the replies answer the question.
I doubt you could get a better example of the point you’re trying to prove.

even without penetrating damp why on earth would you dot and dab onto external walls
My thoughts exactly Liam. 🤔
Clueless trades ?, some people have strange ideas also
What should they have done, or what is it you plan to do putting this right now?

I thought rising damp only travels up around 1200mm?
That’s penetrating damp through the wall not rising
