    Making commission on leads

    Hi guys, do any of you have arrangements with others tradesmen where if you pass a lead, if they get the job you make some money? If so how do you work it, in terms of percentage or fixed cost. Or do any of you quote jobs for others and put on a fixed amount or percentage, where the other...

    What insulation anchors for sand/cement render

    Not too sure although them fixings are very strong if you use the right drill bit, but one thing I would do is use board adhesive to stick the boards to the wall first and let it go off before fixing anchors as the board adhesive is usually very strong and will help with carrying additional...

    External render block effect & scratch direction?

    K rend is a brand of monocouche render, but I tend to use weber pral m, which I find to be a better monocouche render. To cut lines I made a gage stick and marked out either side of wall, then strung a chalk line to mark out horizontal lines then cut lines out, I did use a level for a guide...

    External render block effect & scratch direction?

    "Ashlar"cutting is when you cut lines in to rendering, the best render to use for Ashley cutting is monocouche, I cut some lines in my garage at the back to make it look like block work as we do monocouche a lot and I wanted to see what it looks like, I think Refina have some tools on their site...

    Green Deal

    At 7% you would be better to get a loan at a better interest rate and pay for it in one go ! Another option to consider is find a company that can get hold of eco funding and get them to quote, we get hold of ECO funding for our customers and they manage to save on average £2500-£3500 per...

    ECO funding for DIY external wall insulation

    In all honesty im not too sure where the water would go then if its closed cell then it wouldnt go into the board like you say. Maybe its the other way around then and the paper on front and back gets wet, which increases the weight when wet, it does makes a difference though ! I dont use...

    ECO funding for DIY external wall insulation

    They absorb lots of water before installation if it rains, as it soaks into the edges, I know as we a left a unopen pack out once and it rained and the boards got soaked and they were literally double the weight. If fitted dry they are fine when on the wall because the edges dont show and...

    ECO funding for DIY external wall insulation

    I would not reccomend using phenolic board as they can warp quite a lot when on the wall, in all honesty its never happend to me but I have spoken to a few people who say its happened to them, apparently its due to the boards getting wet before insulation and then warping when drying out, I tend...
