Salt residue

[Bubblecraft]

Hi guys

My plasterer has a query that I hope you guys can help answer.

There is a salt residue appearing on a fireplace wall. The wall itself is bone dry though it looks like limestone. The salt itself appears certain times of the year & can be wiped off.

The wall itself needs stripped back, bonded or sheeted & skimmed but want to resolve this salt problem at the same time.

Any ideas guys?

Here you go gus, just used this on a tanking job, knock off old plaster, brush off and spray this or the like on

That looks the business. I'm not very good at translating but I take it that's an anti salt agent? Where do you get it?

I'll forward on your question & get back to you. As far as I'm aware, it is an old high ceiling house. Whether its in use or not, I couldn't tell you.
