Rising Damp Treatment & Lime Plaster Renovation – Harrogate

This living room in Harrogate was suffering from rising damp, with moisture affecting the lower sections of the internal walls and damaging the existing plaster.

To provide a long-term, guaranteed solution, we carried out a full damp-proofing and lime plaster renovation system designed to both block moisture ingress and allow the walls to manage residual salts correctly.

Rather than using cosmetic fixes, this property was treated using a cementitious waterproofing layer combined with breathable Limelite plaster, which is the correct approach for older UK homes.

SCOPE OF WORK

  • Investigation and confirmation of rising damp
  • Removal of contaminated plaster to affected areas
  • Application of SBR & cementitious waterproof tanking system
  • Installation of Limelite Renovation Plaster (backing coat)
  • Application of Limelite Finishing Plaster
  • Walls left smooth, dry and ready for decoration
  • Long-term protection against rising damp
