Masonry along the Dehiwala and Mount Lavinia coast has to contend with salt and a high water table. Salt in the ground and in the air attacks reinforcement and causes plaster to blow at the base of walls.

What to expect

  • Professionals used to the narrow by-lanes off Galle Road and to coastal salt exposure
  • A quote that states who supplies cement, sand and blocks
  • Work measured per square foot or running foot, not left open-ended
  • Curing time respected before the next trade starts

Helpful tips

Use proper cover to reinforcement and a good damp-proof course on any coastal build here. Salt reaching steel makes it expand as it corrodes, which cracks the concrete from inside. It is invisible for years and then very expensive to fix.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about hiring in Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia

Questions about finding a tradesperson in Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia? Here are the answers homeowners ask most.

Rising damp carrying salt. As the water evaporates the salt crystallises behind the plaster and pushes it off. Replastering without addressing the damp-proof course repeats the job within a year or two.

It needs proper cover to the steel and well-compacted, correctly mixed concrete. Thin cover and porous concrete let chlorides reach the reinforcement, which is the main cause of premature structural damage near the sea.
