How to Damp Proof & Re-Plaster a Chimney Breast | Full Transformation

In today's video I'll be demonstrating how I damp proofed this chimney breast, transforming it from a damp eyesore to a tidy, moisture-resistant finish. This project was part of a larger refurbishment, tackling issues like penetrating damp and condensation. Watch as we strip away the old plaster, preparing the surface for damp proofing. Using KA tanking slurry, I created an easy affordable, damp-proof membrane, ensuring moisture stays out for good. Next, I add timber battens to fix the plasterboard away from the wall, minimizing condensation risks. The installation process is straightforward, and I share tips on achieving a professional finish. Followin this, I added plasterboard, and skimmed the walls (a job I've never done before). Let me know if you think I did OK. Finally, a few finishing touches, including a custom-built cabinet, decoration and a sleek new fireplace and the chimney breast is complete. Whether you're tackling a similar project or simply interested in home improvement, I hope this video provides valuable insights and inspiration. Thanks for watching, and I'll catch you in the next one!
