Chimney breast

[Casper]

Priced a small chimney breast today. Its back to the brick on the front and the sides are ok but will need skimmed as i'm sticking beads on the corners. Approx 2.4 high and 2 wide. How much £ ??

 

[beddy]

normally about £150, you...about £300

 

[henry]

so whay you putting over the brickwork.

 

[Casper]

I'm going to use bonding then multi. :RpS_wink:

 

[beddy]

**** that, dab it. 9.5mm boards, 6 dabs to a sheet. skim it straight away

 

[beddy]

1 coat obviously

 

[Casper]

I though about that but the punter has some raggles in the kitchen so i may as well use bonding. Works out cheaper than buying a couple of boards and some dry-wall. BTW the job is £170 :RpS_wink:

 

[beddy]

what the **** are raggles.

 

[Casper]

what the **** are raggles.

[Casper]

No, no opening. Its been boarded over.

 

[Jace]

[Casper]

how did ur big lid go for ya today

 

[Casper]

Yep got it done yesterday. Was hard going towards the end.

 

[Chris W]

its not back to brick cos of damp is it? chimney breasts are notorious for damp.... theres no dpc in em (shut up flynny) and half the time they soak up water from the outside or down the pot...
bonding and damp?
make sure its well ventilated eh?

 

[Casper]

Nah, its bone dry. My guess is its blown due to years of heat. The property is 70 years old and there is no sign of damp.
