Q6: What damp proofing products would you recommend?
It really depends on the type of damp you are dealing with and the severity of it. If you have identified that it is a condensation problem you have then our suggestion would be to visit our Wise Condensation Shop. If the condensation issue is more sever, then we would suggest a positive pressure system as a solution. If it is anything out with condensation, then we would recommend that you purchase the appropriate products from a supplier that is vetted, monitored and approved by the Property Care Association (PCA).
Q7: What is a slate damp proof course?
It is the type of damp proofing course that is quite common within older properties. The slate is used as a barrier between the bricks to prevent moisture from travelling up through the wall via capillary action.
