Lines and lines.......there is a Swansea!!....................

.....Sorry, don't know how to post youtube clips, it's on my list of things to do.:RpS_blushing:
 
Tony, just do the job as you have described and use a quality waterproofer. If the customer knows better? Tell them to do it themselves!! Always remember we are the trained professionals and not them!! Best of luck. For what's its worth I always use sand /cement with sika waterproofer or similar ( who ever injected it should have left the spec for the plastering work!) If they have? Use the product/method they suggest then you are covered :RpS_thumbup:

If you've looked at the job and are happy with that method then that's what to price for. Customers who 'know a better way' are usually best avoided anyhow, probably a desk-bound clever sod who's "done a bit of building work in his time" Don't be swayed by this and if he insists you do it his way then you insist he puts everything - and I mean everything - in writing and follow it to the letter. Email correspondence is good for this as you can note your concerns or question his suggestions as you go along. He will need to clarify as you correspond and DO NOT start the work until you have had his final written instructions in front of you for 7 days :RpS_thumbup:
