Hi
We've had damp coming through our living room wall due to a gutter being blocked and overflowing down the side of the house. A plasterer has been doing some skimming work and he says that we'll have to remove all the affected plaster, put on some chemical damp proofer and replaster at a cost of =A3300 for a fairly small area. I was hoping we could just skim it and that it would dry out now that the gutter has been fixed- does the plaster really have to be removed? (I think the plaster is original and the building is 1890's)
thanks Charlie
