definitely a piss take here, what does the dentist say
Final question then we can put this to bed till i start doing it..
..Why go to the effort of making an SBR slurry mix which invloves mixing cement-sbr-sand.... when you can buy tub of all in one tanking slurry.. and from what I understand Tanking slurry is what is used in heavy duty waterproofing jobs so therefore tanking slurry is more heavy duty than SBR Slurry. I don't see why SBR is recommended here over tanking slurry.
..hope that makes sense

We could have put this to bed after the 5th post herds.................:RpS_wink:
The SBR slurry is just to provide a key over the old dusty brickwork. The tanking slurry is a waterproof cementious mixture that is part of a tanking system

I swear to the almighty creator that this is the final question in what was called the 'thread of the year 2012' by a man.
..
Do I need to put the slurry and render on around the walls under the suspended floor? i.e. remove the floor boards around the areas that are to be sbr'd and rendered and start from the lowest point on the wall possible upwards?

NO, you just need to do the area that is part of the used wall.As in the wall that is above the joists, the rest is immaterial .If the floor boards are the end point or start point then thats where you slurry and render from....
Of course
new windows today and repointing this weekeend in the damaged areas, so... hopefully start next weekend 
progress:
Couple coats of SBR:Cement:Sand and SBR:Cement applied.. not sure what the white stuff was after it dried, salt?
Limelite scratch coat, jewsons raped me on this, about £28 inc vat a bag :/. Slides around the hawk like nobodys business.
Anyone know why the hole for this airbrick is so high up? usually the internal exit goes under the floor (like the one in the middle of the bay window which is slight obscured by the white bag)

:flapper:
i'll get a couple pics up as the room its all skimmed now.
I went with:
• Slurry mix of SBR/cement and sand * 2
• SBR/Cement * 1 (left this about a 3 days)
• Limelite renovating plaster, as rendering is not that easy for novices I had to go back and patch some areas)
• Limelite high impact finish.
It went ok however I found the Limelite renovating plaster hard to work compared to previous experiance with gypsum stuff so some areas were not perfectly flat and a little bumpy.
The high impact finish was ok to work with but nowhere near as forgiving as multi-finish. The finish really highlighted the fact that there are high and low spots. I was debating whether to get a pro in to give it a skim but to my amazement this finish sands really really well (and i've tried sanding multi before and it goes grainy straight away) so the walls now are looking "ok" to my eye, did take a couple hours though of hand sanding.
