Plastering After Damp Treatment Stockport

Why Replastering Matters After Damp Proofing

When damp treatment has been carried out in your home, the old plaster is often contaminated with salts carried in by moisture. These salts can continue to attract water from the air even after the damp source has been removed, leaving you with tide marks, peeling paint, or damp patches.

That’s why replastering is frequently recommended after a damp proof course or tanking installation — to ensure walls are properly finished and protected long-term.

The Role of Breathable Plaster

Instead of standard plaster, which can trap moisture, we use breathable plaster systems. These allow residual moisture to evaporate while resisting salts, reducing the risk of damp showing through again.

At Weather Wise Solutions, we source trusted products from suppliers such as Builders Super Store, ensuring Stockport homeowners receive the highest quality finish.

When Is Replastering Essential?

✅ If salts are visible on old plaster
✅ Where tanking has been applied below the DPC
✅ After removing bridging plaster touching the floor
✅ Where mould has damaged finishes beyond repair
