I have recently bought a cottage built 1902 all the ground floor is solid and because of the age will not have a membrane. The walls all show signs of damp. My dilemma is that I have had a few quotes for a damp course and each one is different regarding what work supposedly needs doing. The cottage has been empty for 4 months and has had no central heating on in 8 years could this be part of the problem?
Because of the cost involved I had an idea which is to asphalt all the floors and take off 1metre of plaster all round treat the wall with a sealant and replaster does anyone think that this could be feasable, and possibly save me spending money on a job that might not necessarily need it?
