    Advice needed I have a concrete shed the back wall is leaking every time it rains I can see where it’s soaking through and running down I don’t have access to the outside of the wall, so the solution will have to be from the inside, the front and sides are ok they were plastered on the outside I have tried Thompson’s one coat water seal which hasn’t helped any advice would be appreciated tia

    No point in sealing it until you know where the water is coming from, is the wall plastered inside or outside?

    I don't know, it's possible someone will come along and say it's no harm but it if was me I wouldn't want to just seal it from the inside.

    You wouldn't stop water coming into the wall and then it will just leave you with damp walls.

    Is there no way you can get to the outside at all?

    I guess you need to tank it properly.

    Has to be done from outside. Its possible the roof is letting water in

    Use Thompsons from the outside with a roller on a pole.

    What kind of fence. Could you take it down. If its only a field then there probably doesn't need a fence.



    Is there a gutter on the shed
