| Tanking Slurry Powder - 25kgs - Professional with BBA Certificate - in a tough plastic pail | DO
YOU NEED JOINT FILLING AND LEAKSTOP? | |||
For coating masonry, brick, stone, floors and walls. Simply mix with water to form a 'slurry' - a smooth, brushable thick paint, like masonry paint. Wet the surfaces first and allow to dry until just damp. Brush on one coat, with horizontal brush strokes and allow to dry. Re-damp before re-coating, if dried right out. Apply a second coat, brushing vertically. This eliminates the risk of missed patches and pinholes. Slurry can be rendered over whilst wet, or prime with another coat, or use BondaAcryl. Usage rate - 6 - 8 square metres per 25kgs, subject to surface roughness. Also Required when Tanking - Joint Filling Mix (for the floor to wall gap joint), Leakstop - Hydraplug, (for instant leak and weep sealing). Usage rates - Joint Filling mix - mix with water to produce a stiff mortar, allow 1kg per 1 metre of joint approximately 25mm x 25mm (1 inch x 1 inch) at the floor to wall joint, or in cracks and voids.

Click here to see this option. If you are going to replaster old walls you need to use this additive with your sand and cement base coats - DO NOT USE MODERN GYPSUM PLASTERS DIRECTLY ONTO OLD WALLS - e.g. bonding, browning, skim.

Renderproof waterproofs, plasticises and salt inhibits sand and cement renders. To be used for replastering with render, after the insertion of a chemical damp proof course.

Why Replaster? Without a barrier coat of sand and cement (or you could use our Membrane) the damp and 'salts' left in the wall from rising damp will come through the plaster and ruin the decorations. | |||
| Replastering Paint - 3 litre | ||||
For use after replastering, either with sand and cement backing coats or normal, lightweight Gypsum plasters. This paint is special - it breathes - allow water vapour to pass through. The walls dry out properly and the paint does not bubble or lift off, as a regular vinyl paint might. Supplied in a plastic bag within a 5 litre tub, for protection in transit. Usage rate - about 3 - 4 square metres per litre. One 3 litre pot should cover about 10 - 12 square metres. Frequently purchased with this product - Ultra Proof Water Repellent, Stain and Damp Seal Paint. Instant Damp Seal Spray - if your plaster is in generally good condition, but you have some damp spots that come and go, you can spray over with this unique paint. It dries almost immediately, forming the perfect base for our Stain and Damp Primer Paint. Instant Damp Seal Spray - £28.50 - 380cc, plus VAT. | ![]() | |||

Why use Replastering Paint? Because most modern vinyl paints don't 'breathe' enough. This means that they won't let the wall dry out properly. The trapped moisture behind the paint eventually pushes it up into bubbles and flakes. You may feel crunchy 'salt' behind the paint or see fluffy, white 'salts'. Then you will need to remove the paint and use our Salt Neutraliser.

| Wall Mesh Membrane Kit - replaces sand and cement render after the insertion of a Damp Proof Course | ||||
Special dimpled plastic sheet, with a welded on polypropylene mesh, which provides an insulating air gap. For fixing to damp or salty walls onto bare masonry or bare render, but not over Gypsum based Plaster. The Mesh surface can be either directly plastered with Carlite Bonding Plaster or covered with Plasterboard fixed with 'dabs' of adhesive. The Kits contain either a 1 metre or 2 metre wide roll of Mesh Membrane to the length that you specify, white fixing plugs, seal rope for the plugs, and double sided joint tape. The 1 metre wide roll is ideal for covering the bottom 1 metre of a wall that has been damp proofed. This material has a special very low dimple height, to keep the overall thickness as small as possible. This allows it to be plastered or plaster boarded and still marry up smoothly with the original plaster at the joint line. | ![]() | |||

Damp Problems in the House - how to get rid of damp
Damp walls in houses are sometimes caused by Rising damp, but treating damp always requires careful analysis to avoid damp proofing walls that are suffering from penetrating dampness, condensation or residual 'salts'. We recommend damp proofing cream by hand injection of a new damp proof course (DPC).
If you ask for our free help we will ensure that you know how to treat damp walls properly to stop damp and if necessary how to use a Damp Meter. You can easily use UltraCure damproofing cream to install a damp proof course, sometimes referred to as a DPC, without any special training. In treating damp you may also need to consider some tanking, below the damp proof course, which means forming a waterproof coating to stop damp penetrating from below ground.
Other considerations- treating damp
Rising damp can be found in houses which have not been built with a damp proof course or where the damp proof course is faulty. The signs of rising damp can include a tidemark on walls just above the skirting boards, damp patches that come and go, 'salt' marks, loose paint or wallpaper and the plaster can be cold to the touch. To stop damp of this kind we need to either install a new DPC or uncover the original damp proof course level - it may have been bridged by raised garden soil, pathways or even by the local Council in surfacing the pavements.
Rising damp is not confined to external walls. You should also examine your internal and Party walls for the tell-tale signs. The problem of rising damp should be addressed as soon as possible. Lack of treatment will result in a deterioration of the masonry, plaster and any woodwork that is attached (for example, skirting boards). Another significant side-effect of damp, some authorities believe, is that the mould that it can cause is a major factor in childhood asthma. It can certainly trigger asthma attacks! Apply one of our Anti-Mould products - Anti-Mould Cleaner, Anti-Mould Paint or use our concentrated Anti-Mold Paint Additive (works in all types of paint).
