Hi I pulled all old crap off and got mate to re render and skim fully with SBR sand cement mix etc Seems to all be ok and the smell gone too :) Don't mind covering some things but some jobs should be done fully properly. Just definitely get a decent mask and goggles!

Im in Surrey My plasterer mate (12 years experience) is completing it as I type with SBR slurry sand cement etc :) He was away on honeymoon before so couldn't really ring him , and I just wanted to get my head round the situation so could verify with him once available as there seemed to be a...
