Dryzone Renovation Plasters are developed specifically for application to walls that have been treated for rising damp using either Dryzone Damp-Proofing Cream or Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods.
Two different renovation plasters are available as part of the Dryzone System range:
Remove all skirtings and architraves which cover any contaminated plaster. Remove all damp and/or salt contaminated plaster to a height no less than 300 mm above the maximum level of visual rising damp.
Remove any timber fixing grounds that are present in the masonry, then proceed with the application of Dryzone Damp-Proofing Cream or Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods as per normal.
Dryzone Damp-Resistant Plaster should be mixed with a drill mixer. Pour 5 litres of water into a container, then slowly add all of the plaster to the mix. Start mixing the product at a low speed to minimise dust generation. As the paste begins to form, the mixing speed may be increased. For Hi-Lime mixing instructions, see the datasheet which is available in the 'downloads' tab at the top of the page.
For particularly high suction or dry backgrounds, first wet down the surface using clean water. Do not use other additives such as PVA. Dryzone renovation plasters are applied in two layers. The first layer is a rough coat of 5 - 10 mm thickness. This will act as an anchoring layer for the second layer, which should not be applied until the rough coat has become sufficiently firm.
Apply the second layer of plaster to a minimum thickness of 10 - 15 mm for Dryzone Damp-Resistant Plaster [1], or 15 mm for Dryzone Hi-Lime Renovation Plaster [2]. The working time of Dryzone Damp-Resistant Plaster is approximately 30 - 60 minutes; if the product starts to stiffen, do not attempt to rework or remix. For more specific application instructions, please refer to the product datasheet which is available in the 'downloads' tab at the top of this page.
Level the plaster with a simple straight edge or adjusters to maintain the thickness without using excessive pressure on the product.
Dryzone Renovation Plasters can be left as a decorative finish. Any other finishing (e.g. application of a skim coat) is carried out once the curing process is complete, after at least 14 days. Dryzone Mould-Resistant Emulsion Paint can also be used as a finish.

Good product only just finished walls long term don't know.
Delivery was prompt. Product does exactly what it says. Easy to use, albeit expensive. Unfortunately I ordered too much. I've contacted Safeguard to ask about this, but haven't heard anything back.
Easier to mix and use than other brands. Quicker setting which is ideal for smaller projects. Coverage is fairly accurate too. Bit to early to comment on exactly how good it is til it's all dried and painted, but first impressions are promising and seems to be drying out quicker than other brands. Quite expensive considering it's a 20kg bag but if it does the job correctly its worth the extra money in my view.
Easy to use. Does what it is supposed to do.
After deciding to try this product I was not able to find a supplier in the local area but Safeguard Europe delivered it free and rapidly. The product comes with clear instructions and is easy for a DIY person to use. The plaster was easy enough to apply to the wall and I am happy with the result but as I have only just done the job I can’t comment on its effectiveness of stopping damp.
I had a serious problem with damp in three flats following a long term water leak. After drying out the timer was treated and the walls hacked off. The plaster system went on well and I finished it to a good standard. All signs and smells of damp have gone and recommend the products.
