    Hi.
    Recently moved into a bungalow built in the 1960’s. Have major problem with plaster blistering and paint flaking due to rising damp.

This can happen when a damp-proof course, which is a barrier designed to prevent moisture from rising, is absent, damaged, or bridged by surrounding debris…[Read more]
