Dot and dab plasterboard's or just plaster?

[phil101]

Hi guys, I have some rising damp and have been advised by a company the following and would like to ask if this sounds like the correct procedure?

• Remove all damaged plaster due to rising damp up to 1m high.
• Remove all debris.
• Apply a coat of KA tanking slurry. - (BAA aproved)
• Leave for 24hrs.
• Dot and dab plasterboard's to wall creating a cavity.

I’m not sure if the slurry should be plastered instead of the plasterboards?

Thanks in advance

Find a plasterer to do it in sand and cement , who did the scratch and what mix?

you need insulated plasterboards over tanking slurry. depending on the tanking it doesnt need a scratch @flynnyman but i always do

Thanks for your replies guys. What type of insulated plasterboards should they be using? Just so I know what I’m talking about, lol

Just to say they don’t intend doing a DPC of any type, just the slurry & plasterboards. Will this be ok to stop rising damp?

Just render it your halfway there.

The cure for riding damp. Is the installation of a new damp proof course.

There are lots of different ways to do this, but applying a tanking slurry has no effect on stopping damp rising from the ground.

You've been told the answer but it's not the one you want, dabbing it will not work.
