I'm planning to paint the gable end of my Victorian terrace with
siliconce water repellent to stop penetrating damp. Anyone any
experience of this?

I'm looking at some repellent from Sovereign which is meant to be
good. Best applied with a coarse droplet low pressure spray.If I'm
hiring one of these from HSS, what exactly am I looking for?

Any other tips would be great.

If you're scampering around on ladders, it might be better to use a
back-pack garden sprayer. Will have to be discarded afterwards, but offers
advantages re portability & simplicity.
