Hack off tank an rerender. Or dig out tank the back side. Hack off and rerender. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In my new job they have given me a Refina MM30 110v. The trigger doesn't seen variable speed? On the plus it knocks up 4 sand and whole bag of cement as 1 mix in top gear a treat. 160mm negative paddle fitted. Before I had a belle 1600e 110v which would have also done this be would have...

They spec it for jobs under 5m2 as it sets in 45min. They then skim it same day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1 lad tryed adding waterproofer to plastercize it. It cracked and the salts pissed through. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hahaha unless the plasters an inch thick you've got no chance of dabbing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep there gear is the same as anyone else's. The last firm I worked for used them. They never used renovating plaster so I can't comment on that but there dpc cream and woodworm chemical is the same. It's all about the technical support you get. I know Graham Hugh's who's the midlands rep...

Yeah Timberwise. As fair as I know they keep everything in house until they get busy then sub work out. They seem to have plenty on in my area at least. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Isn't it up to bobby how far he travels? Why you can tell him he's to far away is beond me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another lad I know had his done same way. In Bidford. He did the same repair. To be fair pop rivets are very easy to drill out a welded repair would be better. His van was emptied all but a few tools he left on site. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My mates bromsgrove way. Possibly the same gang. Not a million miles away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A pal of mine turned up on a job, opened the back of the van to find tools missing. Turned out they have butchered a hole through the roof with tin snips. Not a mark on the out side till you got on the roof. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Grit the place out is the best bet

He said they mix jiff lemon juice in it but didn't say why??? I just laughed and thought he was taking the piss lol

Not Cox's but a close competitor. I'm not sure it's the same gear. He did mutter something about it being an acquired taste to work with. But they like it because it saves a return visit to skim up.

Each to there own. I love mine.

I went for job interview with another firm yesterday. In usual questions the guy asked if I had ever used natcem? Not even heard of it. He reckons they use it all the time. Normally spec'ed for jobs under 5 m2 as they skin it the same day. A Google around found this. Link Removed...

I know but for the money and power to weight performance you can't really beat them.

Some patching where I was today. By others I might add! Link RemovedLink Removed

Makita 10.8v impacter.

Hilti Say no more.

My gaffer gets tender drawing all the time showing membranes. With a note saying. Delta membrane system to manufactures specs by approved contractor. Insurance backed warrantees required. They will often change the membrane manufacturer if you ask them if you preferred a particular brand.

If it's a big job the architect will normally spec a brand name. Like delta John Newton etc contact the manufacturer they always keep lists of approved contractors. Helps keep everything I order with the warranty side of things.

Fix a cavity drain membrane and dab over that

Spot on bud. How he thinks damp proofing is a flood barrier I don't know lol

It goes over the bricks on the outside. But you won't be able to render after, but if done right it shouldn't need it.

Hope all goes well bud

If it's a higher level than the internal floor and or bridging the DPC then maybe. That's the thing with damp too many variables.

I worded that badly. Expanding foam is the best thing for the job. I was trying to explain the reason for the gap.......and failed

Good question. No idea lol

Expanding foam?? There is mean to be a gap. It allows for expansion and keeps the boards from rotting from the damp brickwork. Once the wall is plastered and skirted the draft will only ventilate the base of the wall. Check for any external defects. Inject dpc cream (probably not needed but...

Who's going to put a straight edge over a skimmed ceiling to check the flatness?? Give 2 options, bet your next job they take the cheapest.

Doubt it's a cavity wall. Ensure good subfloor ventilation, and that the external ground level is lower than the internal floor level. Are the Windows sealed correctly? Was the render you removed on good order? Does the bay have its own roof, in good order including the gutters and down...

I work on the books on an hourly rate. The subby I mentioned does have a minimum charge.

For sure skim full height. I don't know why we don't as normal, it just doesn't happen. I guess it's cost. I know a subby who gets £20m2 s+c and skim. If it's on stone if more for the extra thickness. An extra £10 to over skim the tops would cost a joke.

Rapid cement and skim the same day, no bother If your doing a 3:1 mix dependent on back ground, but say 9" solid brickwork. Go with 9 sand 2 opc 1 rapid cement. If you were going over tanking 2 rapid 1 normal. The blue circle extra rapid cement will set up in the barrow in 35-45min. I have...

You ruined it.......I wanted to here his answer, all be it a load of crap lol

Stop what bridging??? Please explain

Entry's need to be made by 9pm

The blackjack would need to be cleaned with a solvent cleaner like white spirit. It's just a trade name for a bitumin based product. Same as riw etc I know nothing about machines but cement based tanking should pump fine and it would be easier to clean after.

Link Removed £65,000!!!!!! Can't be right????

You need a good plastering contractor. You could hack off your self, but its best left to the plasterers. Forget Pva it's not suitable for external use. Leave the prep to the plasterers. Someone on here will be local and take a look. It'll probably be best left till spring now, due to the...

Ready mix has got to be the way to go. If there's room for the sand and mixer, a tarp on the floor and delivered.

Been thinking about getting 1 of these https://www.gypsumtools.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/ddc84943d260bd98a3288aac35c80bb0/k/r/kraft-tool-wl104-bucket-bag-tool.jpg Just bang it on an old bucket

Bonding agent Bond/skim mix first coat ruled flat with speedskim 2nd coat skim flattened with speed skim Trowel up Who said its gotta be done in lime???

Skimming boards??? If not free hand what else do you think your goi g to do?

Not a screeder myself, but am sure I read on here that applying a slurry is a no no..... Sure some else will advise better.

Go back to the supplier. They should sort it out for you. @Plasterers1StopShop
