Damp issues

That looks great, well done - I honestly never thought you'd be able to get the render off so cleanly. Give that a few years to weather down a bit and it'll be spot on. Have you noticed any improvement in the damp inside? It can take a long time for a wall to dry out, a month for every inch of thickness is a very rough guide.

I believe it came out so well as I got the stone Mason to shot blast it. I can’t remember the material they used to
Shot blast but it was like glass. Well I would say the gable end ‘living room’ hasn’t got any worse so I’d say it’s definitely helped. The next plan after addressing the front drainage/damp issue is to renovate the living room and cut back to the old brick so that’s when I will find out how moist the walls are. However we are attacking the other front room first as this has serious issues and isn’t liveable

So nice to see the progress of a project and a house emerging from all the nasty things which have been done to it. Well done. I showed pictures to His Lordship ( who is not easily impressed by buildings ) and he thought it looked very good. Hope the next phase of the project goes well, do keep us up to date, we love pictures.
