    Waterproofing Bi fold doors advice needed.

    I know a cill would have been better. There are weep holes along the bottom frame. The quadrant idea sounds good. Like the idea of a double seal. Thanks for the help

    Advice for applying Top coat render.

    Would appreciate if people can advise me. Ive already applied the scratch coat of render with waterproofing additive mixed in. I just wanted to know what the best method is of appying final coat. Do i need to use fibre mesh to stop cracking? Is a mix of 4:1 fine? I just want to do it properly...

    Padstones required or not? Pics attached

    Hi all, Ive just had some beams put in and the builder didnt put padstones. He just re used the bricks he removed. Is this normal? Are they not required? Please have a look and advise.
