I’m sure you’ve already considered this but if your deck is higher the 30cm you will need pp. Regards Jake

Thanks 23 Regards Jake

Hi Gary that’s correct a porch is a porch

people are too decent in this group to speak to others like that, if you’re doing it wrong then they usually suggest a different way and explain why your way wouldn’t work… the idea of asking questions is to find out the right way to do something! I’m fairly confident if you get stuck on other...

Ah ok that makes more sense, then way I’d of done is type 1 , layer of sand , dpm, concrete or self Leveln g. Ideally your dpm should lap Your dpc Regards Jake

Morning, I’m assuming your floor is concrete that your building the hearth on, if so has it already got dpm under it? You only really lay sand on dpm when installing insulation in there. If it’s a concrete hearth and you want dpm there’s no issue just fill it with concrete ontop of the dpm… id...

I hope he’s ok… I used to get a few replies off him giving good advice.

Hi, I’m going to attempt to Render a bit of my house wall where the porch is … it’s only a couple of m2 so thought instead of using sand/ cement I’d use one coat … maybe like tarmac etc any How do you still need to use mesh when using one coat? It’s going ontop of tile backer Thanks Jake

Good point woody!

Woody i think he’s more concerned about dpc level and damp from the patio, think he just worded it wrong

Thanks Catlad Regards Jake

Hi I’m assuming you mean aco’s? If 75mm is all you have to work with and install aco’s it will be fine however if there is a way to get 150mm below your doc that would be the better and preferred option Best wishes Jake

Ok that makes more sense of What your trying to accomplish, any sort of plaster board on there and you will Regret it in that vicinity . You really have two options imo 1-clean the brickwork Up skim some browning on then skim coat on top of there 2- put some tile backer board on and skim that...

What are you actually trying to do with it?

Notch you are correct

Personally I’d brick/block it up and install a vent then on your pots puts some ridge tiles or caps. Once bricked up then skim it. This will allow the chimney to breath and air flow but not cause damp.

Do you mean dot and dab? First of all you need to find out why it’s cracking ie movement in the boards or just a rubbish tape job. Once that is done I’d scrim tape it , pva and the just skim it with multi Regards Jake

Personally I wouldn’t use 10mm poly, they use it on new builds and it causes more issues then anything. 15mm will give you better flow and is more stable , poly tends to Ben especially the hot water v cold no matter how matter how many clips you have… the best solution would be to find the leak...
