badgerchief · 4 Feb 2009

hey there!
i`m fitting a new kitchen in my mums house after she had a run in with a rogue!!!!!
i`ve ripped out his disaster a real bodger job to find the room needs tanking along one wall i know the process and i`m more than able for the job, but i`m finding it hard to track down the materials required any ideas would be a great help

i need hydraulic cement for the joint between floor and wall

i also need to inject a chemical damp proof course not sure which product is best

also which chemical additive for the rendering

i`ve been surfing the net but now have more questions than answers as prices very hugely from place to place

thank you jeepman

i`m familiar with mapei products and i`ll use there hydraulic cement
have you used any of the others mainly the additives for rendering as a membrane is not practical in my situation?

i have not used any products but i know they are very helpful at bluebay and i know they supply mapei products plus a very wide range of dampproof things as well would be worth you giving them a call and see what they can help you with
