liquid dpm

Ok, so sometimes the internet can't answer a question, and that's where you guys come in! Go easy, I'm not good with the technical stuff! My question is simply this: if waterproof PVA is indeed 'waterproof', then why can't it be used as a cheap liquid DPM solution, instead of buying a two-part...

Hi, looking for a bit of advice please regarding the flooring in our 1960s house. We moved in to our renovation project recently and we are looking to move the kitchen into a kitchen/diner room at the rear. After lifting the carpet/underlay in the room that will form the kitchen, we discovered...

I am in the process of converting my 8.5m x 3m garage into a home workshop. The floor is old concrete and dips ~25mm in the middle. My plan so far was: - fix up any cracks and dodgy bits in the current concrete floor - lay a liquid dpm - finish with a self levelling compound I spoke to...

we're on the last leg of decorating our lounge and lifted the old laminate to find marley tiles underneath. We were just going to leave them and put carpet over the top but lots started lifting a couple of days later. Having had issues in our kitchen, weve removed tiles and applied wickes...

Hi all, I have taken the skirtings off a late 60s/early 70s building and in some areas there was damage caused by the nails as seen in the picture. I am filling these with a rapid set cement based mortar. The question I have is that there is a smooth, rubbery feeling black coating that...

Hi, I've got a concrete subfloor that is still unlevel in some spots despite previously having 2 lots of self levelling screed applied. The floor has had an epoxy liquid dpm applied since the levelling. What sort of self levelling screed can I use to patch over the uneven areas on top of the...

Hi, We have a large village hall that we've installed UF heating in - wet system, covered in 75mm concrete screed. We don't have the sufficient drying time so looking to put down a liquid DPM ahead of an engineered timber floor (all flooring, underlay etc is UF heating- compatible). We'd been...

I recently pulled up the screed from my floor because it was cracked and damaged from damp. So I need to replace the screed, the screed depth required ranges from 25-40mm (concrete floor is not entirely level). I've taken some pics so you can get the idea: Here, you can see the depth of the...

Hi guys I'm about halfway through renovating the first of three ground floor rooms in my home, which was built around 1900 and have a couple of queries about the damp I have. We live in an area with a high water table (we're about 25 metres from the River Severn) and the house hasn't had...

hello all - first post! I am in the process of converting my garage to living space. Building control have said that we can lay several coats of liquid Dpm as the floor is the same level as the rest of the house. I want to fit a small shower room in there so I need to put up some studwork...
