We are looking to do a future renovation on an existing old outbuilding on our house. It was built in the late 1800's and has double brick walls and flagstone floors. There is a bad rising damp issue we need to fix prior to any future work happening.
We are seeking advice on whether it's feasible to try and repair double brick walls that have been damaged due to rising damp and sealing the bricks causing the internal brick skin to deteriorate.
It's not feasible to repair the internal brick skin as the bricks are in such bad condition however we are wondering if we could convert the double brick wall to a brick veneer wall by removing the inner brick skin and replacing with a timber frame.
We will be pouring a new concrete slab anyway and will deal with the damp issues at ground level.
Below is a photo of the exterior & interior.
If this idea isn't feasible we will demolish it and rebuild.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
