Cracks in render/rising damp

Question

My nearby outbuilding has developed cracks in the exterior render and interior plaster over the winter and in my house I think I have rising damp.

Do I get one person to assess the work? If so what kind of trade is best for a first view to work out what the risks are and what the right courses of action should be?

Glen · Answer

Approach a plasterer or builder with damp proofing experience and skills as the damp need addressed  before render is re done

Nick · Answer

Remove the render fix the cracks in and out use "sika"  material which is water proof stuff and give to wall a good coat of pva and render back.
