Hi guys
A wee question...can I use Drywall instead of Renovating plaster for damp proof work?

Wot!...No replys?

Forgive my ignorance, but what is renovating plaster?

Damp firms in my experience ask for render with waterproofer in it before skimming.

I have done some damp work using foil backed plasterboard on metaldry lining components, and I have seen others do the same, but it depends on what the damp company's guarantee paperwork states.

I think it's ok, I have discovered Dri-coat

Afternoon mate,

I too am not sure what you mean by renovating plaster either to be honest with you.

I would recommend use a S&C with an added waterproofer a meter high (if you are talking about rising damp) for the wall and that would be after the damp proofing treatment had been done and dusted
