Thanks mate, glad you liked it. Its pretty easy and the damp proofing is very good. I did this shed and the shed next door which I converted into a home offic
thanks so much for this video, I have used tanking slurry before, but didn't use enough water and it was a nightmare to use, so in next project I will follow your instructions of how to mix and apply
Great job fella. i wanted to know if I could mix it with a drill and paint mixer. You could have used a scoop to get it into thr bucket and please wear a mask...your a young man and you need to have a healthy life...old codgers like me are on the way out lol
Not a bad job mate I personally always salt neutralise the walls and then apply a ready render scratch coat, tanking and then another thin coat of render
We have a similar sized brick workshop that has "wet" problems, but I'm thinking it's more likely condensation than incoming damp. We'll probably insulate it at some point but may well do this first, just to be sure.
If it is condensation the slurry is non porous so the condensation will settle on the surfce. In that case you need better ventialtion, and as you suggested insulation will remove the dew point
How is it going now? Looking at doing the same in my downstairs bathroom which is an old single skinned wall on the building. I will be studding the walls out and adding insulation which the other occupants did not do. And update would be great even if brief. Thanks for the video
Yeah its great, I also did the shed next door a couple of years ago and converted it into a home office, unfortunately I never filmed it. For that I built internal studwork and ceiling which I insulated with 50mm knigspan. Its realy nice and warm and there is zero damp. Im working in it right now. I wrote an entire article abouthe process here: thedampbuster.com/how-to-damp-proof-a-brick-shed/
Got to love RU-vid. My garage is definitely in the same state and exactly what I was looking at doing myself. Did you plasterboard directly over the tanking slurry once dried or leave it as it is?
Hi mate. No I didnt plasterboard at all, just left the walls with the slurry as the finish. However The shed next door was also tanked and turned into an office. I did the slurry in exactly the same way, but I built a small internal stud wall insulated and then plasterboarded. You could also batton the wall if you want to save space, but I would recomend insulating if your boarding as it will stop condensation. I didnt film the process, but you can read a detailed article about that exact job here: thediyfix.com/how-to-damp-proof-a-brick-shed/
@@thediyfix thanks for the comprehensive reply and I’ve had a look at your website and thinks plasterboard adhesive is the way to go as it’s cheaper and quicker that battening the wall out. Look forward to watching more of your videos when they are realeased
Great video. Did you use KA SBR before the slurry? KA state its optional... i am doing my basement this week and was thinking of adding SBR to walls before the slurry.
Hi 👋🏻 is this the same if you were putting self levelling down if tanking floors. Prime the surface before self levelling due to tanking being non porous? Thanks
Well, it was the middle of summer and one of the hottest days, so by the time I finished the first coat, the wall I started on was already bone dry. I probably left it another hour or so while I got a bit to eat and took a break. Obviously, the same job in the middle of winter would be different. It might be a case of waiting a bit longer, it does go off fast though. You can feel the slurry stiffening in the bucket as you are applying it
Don't waste your money. I'm watching the join between floor and garage walls seep with damp as the rain pours right now. I bought good stuff and followed instructions to the letter. 💩
