Are you sure its damp and not condensation pal as the living conditions dont really effect rising damp.. I would always recomend a piv fan... It brings clean air into the property and puts it under postive pressure.....

Always ask an aa man.... They now all the common faults....

I had this issue before i got into plastering, they said it would be deducted but as far as i was concerned what was the odds of them finding it as their fault????? So i just put that money to the repair....

She said its an internal wall fella..

Cant tell without knocking it off but it has to come off no matter what... Remove the plaster, treat the substrate with an anti salt solution, inject dpc, render with water resistant render, skim, skirt.....

Don't bother paying to get them back, its only a little job to rectify it.. Put the money to the repair...

This guy knows his stuff but sticking boards on with caulk and foam is just terrible.....

£2 a stick, every 100mm inside and out... thats about £800 for a terrace... Lol

Damp sam knows his stuff but im not a fan of his express system when he sticks boards onto the wall with caulk and foam...........he Has bloody props going from one side of the room to the other....

Yes you can pal, Travis sells it per length...

I have been using the trowel now for the last few days...as usual with nela trowels its well made and comfortable in the hand .its nice and rigid when putting on, the only negative is probably down to personal preference, the blade is too flat for me, a new perma shape has a slight bend in it...

I will give it a run out this week....

Exactly... No matter how good the cream is dot and dab is not compatible because it does not control the salts... So is the wrong way of re-plastering...

No it will not dry out as dot and dab is not compatible with a chemically injected damp course unless used in conjunction with membrane or tanking....

I use the blue stucco tape from plasterer's one stop shop... Its water proof, very sticky and clean removal for several weeks...

I will give one a bash....my 18" Mt has seen better days...

Ha ha ha... That was the day i unboxed it... Its not like that now....

B and q Warrington had 6 pallets of multi and 4 of board this morning.....

Defo negative on mine....

I agree the trigger could be better but i have no real issue with it... If it splashes to much then you need to alter your bucket so the paddle is full submerged... I have a 1 bagger, 2 bagger and a 3... I have no real issue with splashing....

I take it you dont use a spot board then?

Putz buckets from plasters one stop shop are the best quality ive ever come across....

Ive had mine 3 months and love it...

One in the middle to light the room and one shining down the wall ...

But without wrapping the whole place in plastic and charging 10k...... lol

Im no expert bud, just use common sense ...lol... I was on my arse for money so i dug a hole about 4ft deep, put a plastic bin in the hole with lots of 6mm holes in it and put a sump pump in with a float switch..... I ran the outlet through the kitchen cabinets and out into the drain.... It...

They did half a job then....lol... My 1st house was the same, bought it in summer and the sub cellar was bone dry.... Come winter it had a foot of standing water...

The customer never asked for it but its that quick and the cream is cheap its not worth not doing....

Correct answer... Dot and dab is for new builds and not refurbishment work.... Just dabbed a lounge at cutomers request but injected it then sand and cement rendered it to 1.2m 1st with added sbr....

Yeah the stuff i get is unbranded, quality is ok to be honest... Only use it on the corners and normal butter them up 1st as they can crinkle up and show through...

I have 100mm scrim in the van especially for builders who think they can board....

I agree, if the gaps are that small and fiddly they customer will be told before hand that they will have to be boxed in or striped away from the wall.....

A 1-1 sbr mix is too strong in my opinion as it will kill all the suction... I think pva would be fine.... 1 coat at 4-1 and let it dry then a 2nd coat at 2-1 and skim whilst sticky....

Probably easier to get tarmac renovating plaster pal...

The putz buckets are awsome also....

Surely if their is damp seal on the wall it has damp issues!!!!!!! Why would you want to just skim over it?

Average is 10k in the north west....

Yep... My method is to seal with a 3-1 sbr then a sticky pva..... Works a treat...

I will pal...

Mine came next working day...

Ffx

Yes buddy...

It feels more powerful , its 3 speed controlled by your thumb on the handle( no gear selector) has a faster top speed and the paddle is quite agresive......

Just tried out my new purchase... The new dewalt DWD241 24OV corded mixer... Well impressed so far, better than the mega mixer and only cost £240 ...

Use neat pva...

Doves were great....lol

Just done this in a lounge.... Not a fan myself as it reminds me of an I****n restaurant...lol

Will do fella, looks a beast and very well priced....
