Salt migration after long term dampness leads to persistent decorative problems. A number of ways to manage, but often a simple render backing with salt neutraliser is effective. Allows for ‘normal’ gypsum plaster back over the top and suitable for patch repairs such as this.

Absolutely essential is to fix the cause first - in this case defective guttering!

DAMP PROOFING

This is what happens when it goes wrong - this isn't about 'breathable walls', lime or hippies singing with pixies under an oak tree.

One size fits all chemical injection and tanking does not work, it merely hides the moisture and shoves it elsewhere.

Below is a classic case, where the water pressure is high enough to just go above the level of tanking - and cause issues above.

How did we fix it.......

Solid-walled homes, which are very common in our area, need a high-quality vapour-permeable finish.

This lime-based silicate paint from Johnstone's Trade is an excellent option that could be colour-matched to any of their tints and is very similar to the German keim paints.

We're a big fan of this and a big favourite amongst our team due to the easy application and longevity that this offers traditional homes in our area.

An alternative to traditional lime washes and to be considered when renovating your solid walled homes!

Some plasterwork ongoing for a returning client - slow and steady wins the race and the right choice of solid plaster rather than plasterboard for this older property.

Previous damp issues rectified, ventilation improved and old plaster fully hacked off.

Top coat to go on tomorrow and then a full clean up and handover!

Our plasterers Lenny and Nathaniel doing some cracking work on these large ceilings in the recent hot weather (diary and room access meant unable to move for client).

From stipple finish to clean flat, in gypsum with some slow curing additives to help reduce risk of cracking with the warm weather!

A regular job for our plastering team and the start of modern, clean, neutral decoration for this room!

Thanks to the lovely client for hosting in the hot weather.

We've been a bit quiet on here recently as we've been exceptionally busy on a number of charity, domestic and academic projects.

A bit of a soft launch with more 'content' on the way and a lot more to come from our team planned over the next year!

So lets kick off with why our team has such a unique offering across construction in our area -

We’ve built a reputation on three pillars of excellence:

1️⃣ The Veteran Survey Company: Expert RICS/RPSA & PCA diagnostics.
2️⃣ The Welsh Handyman Company: Reliable, high-standard local repairs.
3️⃣ The Veteran Building Company:
Larger projects and the professional oversight that ties it all together.

Whether you’re buying, maintaining, or repairing, we bring military precision to every square inch (or mm if younger) of your property.

Service you can trust. Standards you can see.

Exciting to see the new energy standards for new build homes finally coming in from 2028.

However since our snagging surveys often find problems in the most basic of items that have been law for many years - how long till we can confidently build these standards in the correct way for new homeowners!
