Did think about that, but if the damp gets behind the wedi would it not trap it and make it travel to the room next door? Or since it's lime and horse hair would it breath it's slef back out?

im hoping someone has a idea i haven't thought of for this one, tomorrow i night i have to go and price up a bathroom in an old cottage, i did the floor earlier this year, ended up having to put down an epoxy based dpm, with all relevant parties contacted, tec depts, a damp specialist etc etc. now the customer wants the ground floor bathroom fully tiled, the walls are flint lime and horse hair, im pretty sure it had that corrugated bitumen wall dpm installed in the 50s/60s then hardwall and skim over that. but not all areas have this as there is still a couple of little damp spots showing through on 1 external wall. my big question is, it is small room already i really cant afford the space to build a stud framework inside of the existing walls, if i batton it off the walls and fix to that i will penetrate any existing damp measures that are in place and i really wouldnt trust directly fixing to the existing walls.
so you bunch of genisus's any ideas???
Can you instal vents to counter any humidity behind a tile backer?
To the outside? They are 2 foot think flint walls, no hope of that without making a lots of mess on the outside
