Damp Proof Rods Quote / Advice

  • DO NOT DO IT. I am ashamed to say that last year i fell foul of these types of damp proofing sellers. Dryrod costs £20 for 1.2mtr times that by 13 mtrs equals 11 packs £220. installing them is simply drill a 12mm hole put the rod in cement over. So they will chage you at a special offer£1150 a profit of £930 for no more than 2 hours work. the dots are aboce the dpc so i don't think its dry rods. I would say that as the outside wall is what looks like a enclosed alley way would not let in that much damp as a precaution just check the mortar for holes or gaps. If you have or can borrow a stud finder that will tell you if there are pipes behind the plaster. hope this has helped
