We have a few remaining problems with damp in a house that we bought that
had been damp proofed with a chemical treatment. The Damp Proofing company
claims that the type of plaster used after their treatment was not the right
plaster.

Could this be true? Is there a type of plaster that can better resist damp?


Strong chance. I remember having some dampproofing done, getting the
wall plastered by someone else, then calling the damp proof firm back
when the wall got a bit mouldy.

They quickly pointed me to their advice and specification for the
plaster mix on the back of their guarantee - clear as day!! Did I feel
like a prat?? g
