Penetrating damp

[blackbirdxx]

I have an 1890’s solid wall house with a rendering problem. Although the roughcast rendering appears solid I believe that its sand/cement and is trapping water which appears on the inside wall damaging the decoration.

My question is what does everybody use these days to render a solid brick wall, surely not everyone goes to the expense of lime? Can anyone recommend one of these new products which are supposedly breathable and come in a colour? How much per m sq do these materials work out to be?
Also, are there any alternatives to fully removing the render which does not appear to be debonding?

Thanks in advance…….

Well said marshy mate sounds like sumone needs a look around it to be honest ... Could be alot of different factors

Is it painted? I usually find that water get behind the paint somehow and can't get out. Another theory is condensation which is common on solid walls.

An insulated render system will improve matters no end. As for breath ability then most modern renders are but you will still need a combination of heating, ventilation and insulation.
