What damp proof course treatments do I need to use for stone built walls..?
Stone buildings were traditionally constructed with no damp proof course. They relied on natural evaporation to control damp and breathable finishes inside and out, such as lime mortar, clay floor tiles and lime washed walls. Therefore, there are some in the trade that consider solid stone walls are often better left without a damp proof course, as any water trapped by impervious materials or finishes can cause damage.
Freezteq, one of the companies featured above, are specialists in this area and so are well worth contacting on 01386 701050.
Alternatively, I would recommend that you consult with a local surveyor who has experience with stone or historic buildings. A list of local surveyors can be found at the top of this page in the Constructional Professionals section.
