Our house was built in 1820 and is a lovely sandstone. We initially had a problem in one bedroom with sand coming through the lathe and plaster at the chimney. We stripped back and removed a lot of sand, reframed and plastered. The same is now happening on downstairs wall with sand coming through into dining room through lathe and plaster at chimney breast. It has been suggested that we should you ‘paint’ the outside of wall with storm guard which lets the wall breathe but protects it from the weather - I’m unsure, views?
