Answered on 13th May 2022 - Member since Nov 2021 - report"Hi,
The cost obviously relates to the size of the property and access. Generally it’s easy to apply. We have applied with an electric sprayer but a simple pump sprayer would suffice.
It’s not something that is necessary on all properties. We were called to a job that had random large damp patches too high to be rising damp and clearly not down to ventilation or a leak. The affected wall was facing a field and would be drenched by driving rain totally exposed to the elements. We sprayed the whole exterior and they haven’t had a reoccurrence with works completed ten years ago
This was a Victorian house so no cavity walls"
