Damp Proofing in Lincolnshire

Low odour water-based silicone dpc injection is generally regarded as the most effective type of damp proof course to prevent moisture rising through a wall and leading to rising damp. We are DPC injection specialists for damp proofing in Lincolnshire.

DPC Injection Specialists

Dependant on the thickness of walls, holes are drilled in the mortar / brick of external and internal walls to a pre-determined depth and at the correct level and spacing between holes.
These holes are then injected with water-based silicone to reduce the movement of water through the capillaries.

Following the completion of the new damp proof course it is common for re-plastering to be required. Any new plastering has to prevent damp and salts present within the wall migrating onto the internal wall finish. Richard Foston are DPC injection Specialists for damp proofing in Lincolnshire.

Re-Plastering

The most common approach to re-plastering is using a dense sand and cement render as a backing coat incorporating a waterproof additive. Once dry, a gypsum skim coat is applied to give a smooth finish.

Re-Decoration

Sleaford Plastering DPC injection specialists offer a complete painting and re decoration service after Damp Proofing has been completed.

Following re-plastering a minimum of at least two weeks must elapse before the new plaster can be decorated and all areas are dry.

At this time decoration should only be with a water based permeable emulsion, vinyl paints should not be used.

Permanent decorations such as wall papers can be applied when the wall is fully dry, which can take up to a year and in some cases much longer.
