Rather than 'tanking' the wall, would it be possible to stick self
adhesive roofing felt to it? I have some somewhere and it'd be quicker
than cleaning the brickwork, painting it, allowing it to dry,
repainting etc..etc..(I also think I have some, somewhere)


It'd also mean the felt could curve away at the bottom of the wall
which'd probably help divert the water.


Standard way on Victorian houses without a damp course was to render the
wall up to about a foot or so.
