[Get over yourself. Some are in it for the money some take pride in their work and enjoy it. We know what side of the fence you sit.
there you go making asumptions again peaps you just cant helpyourself can you? theres nothing wrong with the way i would tackle that job and my work for that matter, trouble with you is your just stuck in the past you dont live in the present im still laughing at your comments about pva
first time ive come across this, you must have asked the local numty in the store,
anyway i dont think you will be able to remove the waterseal as from what i understand it penitrates quite deep, i think the solution would be to spatterdash the walls to povide a key before the wall is rendered if your using sand and cement, an alternative would be to use bonding because you have sealed the walls up making them low or none suction, but i would prefer the splatterdash and sand and cement if it was my house
Thanks for the replies. How would I apply a splatterdash to the wall?
If I went for the bonding option, what would you use for this? Is this applied to the wall before applying a sand and cement render?
The damp specialist arrived today and gave me a packet of the correct water proofer, said to mix it with the water used in the render.
forget about the bonding its an undercoat for low suction backgrounds which could have been an option but go with the render heres a link to a guide using sbr its good for low suction walls which you now have because of the water seal

Changed your mind after you googled? Interesting you have missed the point of a solvent based WATER repellant and advise the use of a water base dash..?
to be honest i don't think using sbr and cement as a "spatterdash" will help you out of this situation, as far as i am aware Thompsons is silicone suspended in a solvent, so this will repel any thing that you apply that is water based, either create a really good mechanical key (grind out all mortar joints and score the bricks heavily, as suggested previously) or fix an oldroyed type membrane with mechanical fixings and then render or plaster in dri coat etc
Read back at your posts and at best it looks like you are guessing.
Hardly stuck in the past. I apply traditional plastering techniques when needed and moden when needed. No need to fix something that isn't broken.
I'm time servedand you?
changed my mind after ive googled? there you go assuming again trouble is youve had your head stuck up your @rse for the last 24 years you dont know what time of day it is, time served? yeah im time served with a city&guilds level3 and a nvq2 as well to boot
Yes as a time served plasterer you would have a guilds level3
But all this isn't getting down to you explaining why use a water base solution when the wall has a solvent base water repelent applied..?
By the way it would be strange to serve your timeas a plasterer thengo onto a level 3 guilds and a NVQ2. You need 1 and 2 guilds before you go onto a 3 for a start but I digress.
It would be better for you to backup your advice when confronted with questions, you can't.
Maybe youcould come give us advice on this 1466 timber framed house we are renovating, mind you, I'm not sure English herretige would be happy with you turning up with your PVA, easyfill and dash
It's plasterers such as you that have trashed listed buildings with your NVQ2s
