    Pour in mortar mix?

    If pouring in a full 25kg bag water mix of the Sika 111GP would you wait for it to go off before pouring in the next 25kg mixed amount? It would be great if I could just pour in one after the other and job done lol

    Pour in mortar mix?

    I'll be mixing in some hydrated lime but also dont expect it to fill at the very bottom as there is debris I cant get to from around the halfway point to the floor base.

    Pour in mortar mix?

    Its going to be difficult to apply a sealer to all the sandstone bits though before I start the grout pour. Actually thinking about just pouring it in whilst moving along the area with the bucket. Not sure how else to remove any absorbant areas bar pulling out every stone piece from the void.

    Pour in mortar mix?

    Hi all, After some advice please. Slowly doing up a stone terraced cottage and I’ve pulled out a window sill as of a noticeable draught from where it meets the wall. This has revealed all inside to be loose where the old mortar has gone to dust. I’ve removed all loose with a vacuum and want...

    Damp/Mould - DIY fix

    cheers mate. The window has fresh seals to the stone but I'm still not sure if this is the issue now removed. I'm looking for suggestions on what to use in the area shown once I knock off all the effected render. tah

    Damp/Mould - DIY fix

    Hi all, I'm doing up a solid stone build terraced cottage (no cavity walls). I've ran out of finances after paying builder to do roof and full lime repoint.

    Extremely dirty eaves space - is it possible to clean rockwool, I should I replace?

    lazy as sh*t hahaha Right then. I was thinking some parts will need cutting or tearing of the rolls that are boarded over and this would also kick up fibres but if your sure this is best I'll trust you lol Did you use standard bin liners or bigger bags. Im imagining the rolls are pretty large...

    Extremely dirty eaves space - is it possible to clean rockwool, I should I replace?

    Apart from getting closer to the fibres I also hate putting things to the dump for land fill. Will it really be a terrible job cleaning the surface of the wool in order to keep it?

    Extremely dirty eaves space - is it possible to clean rockwool, I should I replace?

    I was not wanting to touch it if possible. I cant be bothered with the fibres airborne. Would it really matter if I managed to get the thick of the rubble and dust off the insulations surface and then boarded on top leaving some levels of dust in the floor space? The insulation will still...

    Extremely dirty eaves space - is it possible to clean rockwool, I should I replace?

    Hi All, I thought it would be frowned upon if I created a new post so sorry if its also frowned upon that I am now piggy backing on this :). I have a similar issue where loft was floor boarded just down the middle and not fully into the eaves and I now wish to board all the way to create...
