Application of a specialist damp-resistant plaster system following DPC installation and substrate preparation, providing a durable, salt-tolerant internal finish that supports the long-term performance of the wider remediation programme.
— about this service
Standard gypsum plasters are not suitable for walls that have been affected by rising or penetrating damp. Gypsum is highly soluble and will absorb residual salts and moisture from the masonry, causing rapid failure of decorations and, in severe cases, dissolution of the plaster body itself. Procure Damp Proofing Group specifies and applies a damp-resistant renovating plaster system that provides a robust, low-permeability substrate capable of tolerating residual moisture movement and salt loading during the drying-out period. Applied in the correct number of coats and at the right thickness, the system creates an internal finish that accepts conventional decoration once fully cured. Damp-resistant plastering is always installed as part of a coordinated programme following DPC installation, contaminated plaster removal and, where required, salt neutralising treatment, never as a standalone fix.
— our process
Before plastering begins, the masonry substrate is confirmed as correctly prepared, clean, sound, salt-treated where required and with any DPC fully installed and in the cure phase.
The specified plaster system is applied in the correct number of coats at the required thickness, with appropriate scratch coat and finishing techniques to produce a sound, flat substrate ready for decoration.
The new plaster is allowed to cure fully before any decoration is applied. Procure advises on cure times and any post-cure moisture monitoring required as part of the 12-month workmanship guarantee period.
— benefits
Damp-resistant renovation plasters are formulated to tolerate residual salts and moisture during the drying-out period following DPC installation. Standard gypsum applied in the same situation will fail, often within weeks.
Procure coordinates every stage of the remediation process, survey, DPC installation, strip-out, salt treatment and replastering, so the plaster specification is always matched to the system and the masonry substrate it is applied to.
All Procure replastering works are covered by our 12-month workmanship guarantee, giving homeowners and landlords confidence that the finished system will perform as intended.
— faq
Standard gypsum plasters are water-soluble and incompatible with the residual masonry salts present following a rising or penetrating damp episode. A damp-resistant renovation plaster tolerates the elevated salt and moisture environment during the drying-out period that follows DPC installation.
