Good video but one problem... You shouldn't use cement on stone walls it draws the damp in , you should have done more homework and used lime mortar to cure the damp problem completely . Give it 8-10 years and it'll be back but higher up the wall and in the floors.
Hi, this is a fully tanked system. Cement as part of the manufacture instructions is mixed with the K11 sealer. When applied to the stone to round off the edges before the K11 paste is added and more render. Normally this is installed to 1200mm high. I just had to take a chance doing it lower for aesthetic reasons. So far so good. Rising damp is unlikely to rise above 1200mm. In relation to lime, it is the traditional method but unless you air your house for at least 4hrs every day this won’t work. You would also have mould issues putting furniture against the walls.
This is so helpful! So in short, you plastered the walls withcement upto the area where its not damp anymore, preferably under the floor cement, apply the k11 and then plaster it again with cement?
all that you are doing with this system is hiding the problem temporarily. You are trapping the moisture into the wall. Is the stonework exposed externally? Those products that you are using that seem to want to seal off stone walls when the approach should be, as you say at the beginning, is to let the walls breathe.
100% Proof that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing in the wrong hands. He has just exacerbated the issue, his ignorance is astounding. Block it out bollocks to the structure seems to be the approach of the lunatic.

Thanks for sharing your technique

Hi cement render to round off the stone edges is part if the system, K11 sealed is mixed into the cement.
Only use lime /sand render on this type of building

Wrong, wrong, wrong!!!!! I'd watch a few videos by Peter Ward if I were you. Please don't go near anyone else's property.
