This bloke seems a nice genuine guy. I wish him all the best, God Bless.
Thank you James and thanks for watching 👍
a trick : watch movies at Flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Jermaine Zaid Yea, been using flixzone for months myself :)
Very grateful for invaluable video. I need a small (6m square) patch done if you know anyone in Folkestone - Dover area please
It a bit far away but do a postcode search on the PCA website
Yeah great video buddy . You’re the man
Thanks 🙏
Thanks for the quality info sam the man.
Any time! 🕰️
Sam you are the best
Thanks for your kind words Jason 🙌
Excellent advice and down to earth
Thankyou David 🙏
Im looking at buying a couple of dozen damp proof rods. Have a slight damp ( visible) / cold issue on wall behind sofa. 2 metres length only 12 inch height . Its a mid supporting wall. Not serious but needs attention. I can get under the floor easy enough...plenty of space. We recently had whole room re Plastered so i cant see where mortar course is above the skirting boards. Ive learned so much recently due to your expertise
Hi Sam,
Thank you for very informative videos. Can you also add videos/p pictures of before and after. Thank you again
Asmat Ullah Khan hi thanks for watching, we have started adding pictures in the vids now but this vid was a couple of years back so don’t have the pics at hand.
Good info videos our front room has had peeling paint near abs around reveal I has tidied it up but come back and beading has showed bround colouring through paint so not good the wall feels cool .....a mate said it could be that it's bridged and has no /little vertical dpc what would you suggest pal . ?
I would need to see some pictures of it or a site visit to see what’s actually happening
Did you have to wait for that damp patch below to dry out before doing same procedure. I like this system. Is that roofing felt & would you need to pva it before overskim
Death no it’s not roofing felt it’s called DryFlex Membrane. You don’t wait for anything drying. No pva needed skim straight on to it.
Great videos. Not used this system before - maybe a daft question but you can tell me if you need removed the paint on the wall first? I can't tell from the video... Thanks!
Tom Dear take what ever is lose off
Do you overlap the joints in the membrane ? Good video , Thanks. Maybe Jim could be camera man ?
dhb 57 the spec says to overlap it 50mm but I think that is for waterproofing, it’s what your comfortable with as you are guaranteeing it.
Thanks for the comments
What about if it’s on front external down to bad pointing but it’s been fixed?. Can you do the same? Thanks love the content your a legend
I imagine you could but there may be a better method than using dryflex. You have to judge each job on it’s own merit.
Question . Trapping the water/moisture behind the sheeting , isn't that still a problem as water will still build up from whence it came? Water will just take a different route or just build up.
As we were doing the inside the chimney and roof were being worked on. This was part of the preservation work process. This system is the type A barrier system in its simplest form.
Nice system for problematic areas Sam, did you have to investigate them chimney water ingress ???
A structural report was done on the property they found all the issues on the roof. as we were doing the video the roofers were at work fixing all the problems above. You always need the structural stuff sorting out first. Thanks for your input.
Hi Simon, if I were to use this method would I have to skim or could you just wallpaper over it? And could I just cover the damp area or would I have to do the whole wall?
You could wall paper but there may be bumps in the wall on the joints, I would skim to get a flat surface.
Thank you.
Looks like the chimney is blocked above fireplace hense the damp down the side and top. Was it checked by any chance
While we were working on this they were working on the roof and chimneys and they had also been cleaned, I think I mentioned this in the film.
Simon what kind of plaster to use and if painting finished wall, breathable paint better to use?.I'm getting there, but still confused about whether to let the walls breathe or waterproof it! We have a chimney that has been soaked through our roofer said. wrong type of bricks uses 50 years ago perhaps.
It’s hard to comment on specific jobs without seeing them, I can only show how we do the jobs in the films and use the products.
@@dampsam Thanks Sam.
@@dampsam if I was to do this on new plaster(6weeks ago was plasterboarded and plastered) would it be the same ; ie a sbr then the Dryflex as shown int video? And also how to differentiate between simple thermal bridging from the dot and dabs on the cold wall,through to humid room and salt damp? Thanks Sam.
Saves a lot of time and mess, 👍 what’s it like to skim over?
It’s not as easy as boards and the first coat can be hard but once on it’s ok and hangs a lot.
@@dampsam thanks for your reply, I’ll definitely use this next time I get a job that suits 👍
Hi Simon, always enjoy the videos but can you tell me.....What in your opinion was the cause of the problem (s) initially.... and what has been done to fix them...prior to your recommended proceedures of covering / replacing, the damaged plasterwork?
ningis21 the chimney was uncapped for all its life but also there was a hole in and around the flashing area and the roofers were up there as we were doing the inside work. When the inside of the chimney gets wet the sulphate salts migrate to the surface of the plaster and once there they are hygroscopic so will absorb moisture from the air. If they become wet enough they can dissolve and move around the room in humid conditions, this is known as being delinquent.
Thanks for enjoying the vids have a great rest of the day.
And here is what’s wrong with modern building techniques. Doesn’t solve the issue just hides it for someone else to deal with further down the line. The problem is that walls need to breath, you don’t solve a damp problem by hiding it
It’s isolating salts if you listen to what we say we always tell customers to fix the cause. These issues had been fixed but the plaster was left contaminated with sulphate salts. This was the last piece to be fixed
@Damp Sam HNC CSRT CSSW
Yes but the problem is invariably that the walls have been covered with non breathable gypsum and paint. All you are doing in this video is hiding a damp area with a barrier so it won’t show. This will cause more issues in the internal walls. Surely a breathable plaster like lime and a clay based paint is all that’s needed to deal with the salt build ups in an old wall
Hi where can i get membrane dry flex sv from plz give us a name of shops plz.
Dharmendar Lal not really sure as we buy from Safeguard the manufacturer’s, I know they sell on Amazon so have a search on there
Sir what Is this silver thing in your hand? Please named it
Shabaz Alam it’s called a trowel in the right hand and a hand boards in the left.
Great vid where do I find this product please
It’s sold by Safeguard Europe you can contact them via their website
That’s brilliant thanks Wots the actual name of the system you used please mate... big help thanks👍
@@darrensherrington7791 it’s called the express replastering system 👍
Would you still use this method? Or is there a new method now?
We still use the isolating system but the membrane is thinner and better it’s called Multiflex
Looked on the site where you purchase this system, and they say once the membrane has
set, it is ready for bonding or hardwall before being skimmed. Why have you skimmed straight
over the membrane?
Hi thanks for watching, because the also say it can be skimmed straight on to it, when it first came out they had promo stuff showing it being skimmed onto. Also if you think logically finish would stick better to it than backing plaster.
@@dampsam Ok mate,
thanks for clarifying that.
Perfect video for what I need but couldn't hear it clearly 😔
Sorry about that
It's ok I still found it in your comments🤗
Very low audio sound
Thanks , I know my phone mic was on it’s way out
Seems like a bandaid on a broken arm.
Yes some people can’t get their heads round new methods, it’s not your fault
Old houses were dried out by heat from fireplaces.
Membrane? Hogwash. Stop the source of the moisture.
Bruce MacKinnon Err, you mean stop the rain?!
So basically just trap moisture in, make it look neat, take the money and not solve the actual issue. Old houses need to dry out! Natural breathable materials should be used.
Thanks for watching, again please go read up about the system which is a barrier system which have to be used to stop the sulphates. The chimney and roof had previous issues that were fixed so this system cuts down on mess hacking off plaster and applying a different barrier system. Lime plaster still gets affected by sulphate salts so would not be an option.
Nope.
Chop off .salt neutralise.tank or anti salt plaster
Then at least can mention equal plaster depths to dado
Scott james eaton yes that’s another method and has the same end product by creating a barrier to stop the salts, hacking off creates lots of dust and mess and as the plaster is sound unwarranted. There is nothing wrong with sticking to one system but the reason safeguard brought out The DryFlex system is to give us in the business choices. You can still charge the same price and get the work done cleaner and quicker.
This is rubbish it will fix the problem for a month or two till the water finds a different outlet
What are you on about 🤷🏼
