• Painting wall before replastering/rendering

    From GB@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 14 21:00:26 2025
    We have a problem with rising damp in MIL's bungalow. We have removed
    quite a lot of plaster, and the aim is to deal with the source of the
    damp, and then plaster or render the wall.

    This will take some time, and in the meantime we want to do some
    temporary decoration to make the room more pleasant.

    What I'd like to know is whether it's okay to paint the exposed
    brickwork, or whether this will cause problems with the
    plastering/rendering when we come to do it later?

    Any particular paint we should use?
