Damproofng wallpaper

Is there a waterproofing agent that I can apply to wallpaper to stop damp coming through? It needs to be a clear agent as I don't want to paint over the wallpaper.

There are clear waterproofing products, but I would not recommend applying one directly to wallpaper to stop damp coming through. A clear coating is unlikely to solve the underlying problem, and it could damage the wallpaper or trap moisture behind it.

Hi unfortunately as far as I am aware their isn’t have you tried applying storm dry protection cream to the outside wall to see if this works failing this you will then have to go down the excessive route of removing plaster repointing and install new DPC hope this helps
