The Y-man,
When my wife and I renovated and extended our heritage home, we engaged a team to resolve the rising damp issue we had in the house.
The process was;
1. Inspect the property, being check roof plumbing and put a moisture meter on on the internal walls to identify where the problem was.
2. Contractor prepared and submitted a quote to us to rectify the problem, which was accepted
3. Contractor attended site, removed 3 bricks (long ways) at a time from the outside course of brickwork, raked out all the loose lime mortar that had dropped down from the brick joints above (was up to 300mm high in the cavities), then replaced the bricks using Dampco in the mortar mix.
The problem has been resolved to our satisfaction.

Thanks Glenn,
Rough $ for your exercise?

Extending this thread....
Great to see your success. Any photos? I second Y-man's query about cost, please rabidz.
I'm now considering a very old building with dreadful rising damp.
From what I can see, ugly render needs to be removed on outside of external walls, plaster removed from inside, lime mortar cleaned up and reapplied.
