all that you are doing with this system is hiding the problem temporarily. You are trapping the moisture into the wall. Is the stonework exposed externally? Those products that you are using that seem to want to seal off stone walls when the approach should be, as you say at the beginning, is to let the walls breathe.
Hi, what’s your plan for the wall? R u going to tighten in down first and then fill it with lime mortar ? Would be very interesting to see how professionals do it.
100% Proof that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing in the wrong hands. He has just exacerbated the issue, his ignorance is astounding. Block it out bollocks to the structure seems to be the approach of the lunatic.
We viewed this property, in fact the outdoor toilet featured as the cover in one of our videos!! Will be interesting to see how you renovate it. We are obviously doing the same on the property we ended up buying, but I imagine at a slower pace!
Good video but one problem... You shouldn't use cement on stone walls it draws the damp in , you should have done more homework and used lime mortar to cure the damp problem completely . Give it 8-10 years and it'll be back but higher up the wall and in the floors.
Hi, this is a fully tanked system. Cement as part of the manufacture instructions is mixed with the K11 sealer. When applied to the stone to round off the edges before the K11 paste is added and more render. Normally this is installed to 1200mm high. I just had to take a chance doing it lower for aesthetic reasons. So far so good. Rising damp is unlikely to rise above 1200mm. In relation to lime, it is the traditional method but unless you air your house for at least 4hrs every day this won’t work. You would also have mould issues putting furniture against the walls.
This is so helpful! So in short, you plastered the walls withcement upto the area where its not damp anymore, preferably under the floor cement, apply the k11 and then plaster it again with cement?
Rising damp doesn't exist.. it's condensation/moisture resulting from use of cement internally and externally, blocking vapours from escaping the building
Great to see old cottages renovated and not replaced by ranch style bungalows. I saved this one in Mayo ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9WzhyH9YqEM.html
ICF is more or less the same cost of blockwork pound for pound. It has its benefits in speed of construction with less components and airtightness as well as thermal mass qualities. Its not the end of blockwork though as for certain restricted sites that can't accommodate concrete pumps and mixers blockwork will win out.
Wow, wow, wow! We’re currently looking to purchase some derelict farm buildings/a cottage to renovate. Have you any advice? Could I ask an approx. costing - we’ve no idea where to start with budgets, prices to offer vendors etc. etc. Such an amazing finish & craftsmanship - well done!!! 😊
Hi - Properties like this on the West coast are plentiful - you would have to do some research to work out costings etc - I doubt it would be possible for this contractor or any other to give you prices unless they have something solid to base that on - good luck from County Donegal....!
Absolutely beautiful I did pause it numerous times to really look at it beautiful work. Good advertising for your company I would slow the video down a little.
Very functional but void of visual warmth and what’s with the British thing with gravel ? Mistake from a heat retention viewpoint not to plaster the walls flat and fill all those air leaks. Alright for a couple of days but certainly does not rise to the claimed ‘home’ standard.
