While extending our house we would like to do something about the damp
problem caused from our house having been constructed with single brick walls.
We had thought about a silicon coating applied to the inside of the brick wall
before we the new insulation and plaster work is done. Would you consider this a
good option? I have noticed these silicones don't last all that long, is there a
better option available? To give you an idea of the problem, if we switch off
the heating during a cold winter signs of water damage to the plaster can be
seen in a matter of weeks. Last winter we were away for a few months and a large
piece of an upstairs ceilings fell down. The roof is water tight. We had the
problem inspected and we were told that it was all due to the walls.
