Where are these rooms? I could possably do them for 850 cash??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Type C cavity drained waterproofing. Go straight over what's there maybe the best option. Only real down side is a loss of room due to battening/studding walls out and the need to dig for a sump chamber. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would the steel not need fire protection? Double boarded etc? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bonding in the first coat of skim helps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep 200mm paddle all the way. I knock up render all day, day in day out. A 90l tub from refina goes great with these larger mixes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Old tommy Walsh always used to say that was the proper way to do it. One side for tape and joint and one side for skim. Surly it says plaster other side only on the boards Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No but I'm aware they make such a thing

Ceiling looks mint to me

I see. I also use a scarifier, the Marshall town one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Use an insulated backing plaster @bawure ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought they were te same thing! Pics? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The shelling was probably due to skimming too soon Use a waterproofed in the mix to control suction when skimming. Devil float well to give plenty of key. Leave 5 days minimum before skimming. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you want to get into damp proofing email a load of company's and see it you can get a start. A lot do in house training. Otherwise the PCA run technicain training courses. There is also an NVQ level 2 qualification. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven't bought any for ages but I used to get blue grit delivered off eBay for £20. This made it almost as cheap as pva. The tubs were always about 60mm from the top. So I filled them with sbr to water down the grit. I found it made it roller on easier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Deff a leak. Why did you get the wall skimmed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought horizontal was to keep the paper edge across the studs for strength. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah pretty much all bang on. Sika 1 is a below ground waterproofing product. It makes for a dead mix. Good sand is key. Sika 1 @ 10:1 10 water to 1 sika 1 Or if the sands wet 0.75L per 25kg cement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

True that. What do labs earn ? £200 a week? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I meant 3-1 sand and cement render with the sika1 additive. Travis stock it but it's generally cheaper in screw fix about £45 a gallon. The prebagged mortars are just batched sand and cement. You still add the additive when mixing. Or a 3mm meshed cavity drain membrane and dab or float...

That's me happy on paye. Taking the holiday pension etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I turned that job away. I'm on the same sort a money as they offered. I will never go self employed. At 5 I down tools and go home forgetting work till the next morning. Obviously it works for some but it's not for me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yellow Stanley. If I scrim up a lot of boarding in front I will bang a couple of staples in here and there. There's nothing worse than walking in to skim a ceiling and all the scrims on the floor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been invited to apply for this job. Full time plastering on the books for a damp firm. Link Removed They kept advertising it locally so I emailed them my cv and asked what the salary was. For a 40hr week 8-5 with an unpaid lunch hour. It's like £13.90 an hour. Which puts overtime to...

Yep. I've done a fair bit in town but not in the centre. The last 1 I did we parked up and walk in about 20min walk. I was hoping someone new of something better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Render in sika 1. And skim done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cheers bud Will do! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure as yet I've not had all the details. It's a big basement waterproofing job. So possibly all materials delivered and leave tools etc on site. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

f**k that! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking online I have found a ncp car park with no height restriction for £20 a day. Or £9 a day in a different car park but it's only 6 hours max stay. Not sure what we're going to do. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got a job starting in new street Birmingham the week after next. Any idea where I can park a my van close by? Not sure which end I haven't had the full address yet.

Dab with waterproof tile adhesive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If the clients in, it's a back of the van job. Or a trip to the merchants, tesco etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like that idea. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great idea and fair play for giving away the prize.

Leave it 5 days, give it a light mist of water and skim away. The render should have been devil floated in preparation for skimming. If the renders been left floated flat without a key, it will need some kind of chemical bonding agent. Pva blue grit etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The cure for riding damp. Is the installation of a new damp proof course. There are lots of different ways to do this, but applying a tanking slurry has no effect on stopping damp rising from the ground. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No boards will span that distance. You will need to batten the ceiling out first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hahaha. The point is lime work is a specialist area of plastering. By your own admission you don't know where to start........so perhaps phoning an expert would be the best place to start. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do the plastic mushroom fixings not melt the same. Screws and washers must be the best bet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From what I understand, sika 1 is tanking. Where as normal water proofed render isn't. As always I could be wrong

Same as above, sika is a dead mix an s**t to use. Bang some sbr in to fluff it up. Board finish to skim. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
