Apparently he does it himself but "didn't have time as doing everything else"

Thanks for responses chaps(y) Have ask him what it looks like it normal daylight sun out conditions, spot lights etc and he's said fine, but and I quote, I torch test everything tiling, painting, mitres, you not the only trade I'm not happy with".

Have been sent some photos from a builder have done some work for, condemned work ive done for him. I'm gutted as thought at the time walls had generally finish up ok. Hold me hands up from the pictures it's mortifying and rough. Have of course offered to come back free of charge an put right...

And the selco dark blue pva bond it think it is absolute wank, like red top milk!

Thanks for responses gents I suppose whether, you screed vertically, horizontally, or both or just put wall on and free rule there is no right or wrong way as long as its straight flat an level in the end

Do you go the width of your straight edge just either end of wall?

Afternoon people, hope all is fine an dandy? Had a ganders through the forum an must admit this subject has done the rounds few times but been doing some floating last week (hardwall) thought change it up a bit an used horizontal screeds one about head height and one along bottom of wall, from...

Only one of a few companies that can make a fortune what ever goes around!

Thanks for all the responses people much appreciated (y) (y)

Thanks mate(y)

Thanks mate (y) that's route going to take it back to basics

Thanks bud (y)

Many thanks hector (y) Must admit at first was a bit reluctant to push it to hard when troweling, but seems an feels fine when putting bit of pressure through it, 12 weeks since opp last week the worse thing is the muscle wastage doing lid was hard graft! Just come back into and having a...

I wish could put it to that but, its defo mucking it up:X3:

Thanks bud (y) It may have won the battle but the war is not over!

Ps just to add thankfully this dogshit effort has been at relative's house (unfortunately she not blind) just to ease back into but never the less have am going to re do the 2 rooms again. Confidence is shot to bits need to get back in the game its driving us crazy!

Been off for few months after shoulder opp, but christ where do I begin?! Having an absolute mare troweling up, timings gone to pot, little blemishes here and there fat Mark's the list goes on. God awful and embarrassing to say the least. Expected maybe a little bit of tail spin the first hit...

I've never heard so much b*ll***s! Name an shame the bastards to anyone that understands english!

Many thanks mate for the detailed response, makes a lot of sense and will definitely bear in mind with rendering jobs going forward

Again thanks for responses gents, Any advice I'm all ears!.... f**king need it!:X3:

So pva outside on any substrate is a big no no? Have used before must admit an haven't had any problems, but from what people are saying it's a no go, sbr or render grit from now on for me!

Wish I did mate, knew it was to hot, but what ever was telling him was going in one ear out the other, "I've got the materials I want the job and need the job done end of" was his response

So I've got it all wrong pva, the mix ratio etc... to be fair he may be the cock, but I'm the dickhead who did it :tonto: should of just steered clear

Will give that ago (y)

I knew this broken bone business would have its upside... its goner be all be the detail might smear some yogurt on me sling an accuse him of bolting his load on my handicap?:tanguero:

Gathering from responses so far it's a combo of builder rushing job insisting on job being done regardless of heat an consequences, and bad prep and mixing ratios on my behalf? I'm all ears for advice gents as to where an how have gone wrong dont want to make same mistakes again Cheers

By all means tell us where have gone wrong? Obviously don't want to go forward making same mistakes

On my behalf would you say prep work was wrong? Soaked brickwork then pva, soak an sbr slurry blockwork, and mixes 4-1? How would you tackle said substrates? Any advice would be much appreciated

Have said send across pictures, am debating going to job to look as well

What would you recommend 5-1? Thermalites were soaked and sbr slurried to drop suction rate

By all means and I'm ready for a hiding but can someone advise me when, where an what I'm doing wrong

Scratch coat

Have buggered up a fair few things in my time an not afraid to hold hands up an first to admit a mistake. Always learning

More than familiar... So is the bottom line is that this is my thought and I'm completely liable for this?

Shouldn't have started it in first place with high sight, just stuck to guns an said no

Thanks for responses gents

Only had done a couple of job for him prior and seemed ok paid up no prob, but was always pressing saying up against it

Have heard that but then have seen and worked with spreads that just use normal pva

Was mixing at 4 -1 with waterproofer an little bit of lime, to strong maybe?

Sorry had phone from said builder yesterday

Hi hope all are well? Quick question, did some sand an cement rendering back in june scratch coat and then bit of top coating. Problem at the time was that weather was roasting about 26 27, with the sun shining directly at some of the walls, explained to builder at time that not happy nor best...

No worries mate many thanks for getting back to us, on the waiting list for surgery as we speak for plate to be put in shoulder blade, hopefully next week with bit of luck! That puts the mind at rest at least can get back to it once fit happy days (y) Thanks bud

Thanks fella (y)
