Hi All.

back in the Urb and starting further building  work next week. I need some advice we have an underbuild and we are planning to renovate it.

we have a problem with mould and I presume damp ingress? I have scraped off the loose paint and gotelle wall finish and I am going to re cover and repaint but what i would like to know is this. Is there any product available that can be applied to the walls to prevent re occurrence of the problem some kind of treatment and sealer maybe.

Thanks all.

Steve.

Before resorting to these remedies, make sure of the nature of the problem. 

It is possible that you don't have a damp problem. I thought that i had, but in fact it was salts leaching out following a reaction between the different materials used in the build.
