    aquaseal roof coating

    Thde clue is in the name...... if it said simply roof coating the content (and I haven't even looked) would be less 'sided'. Conflict of interest if a roofer talkes coating, diffferent industry. Would you want a paiunter and decorator to reroof ur house????? :lol:

    sandstone wall disappearing

    Limestone, marble, hydraulic lime, pigments and hand carved to shapes on the wall. Very clever and hard to tell its not actual stone. The sample made for the Oxford job was so good , we hung it in the office. youtube Decopierre has lots of samples

    renduring confusion!

    Lime was used for hundreds (or 1000's) of years before OPC cement was invented. Many old black and white tudor buildings still have it, your internal walls are probably lime plastered. The issue at the top is that the render is wider than the slates, so a dry verge needs adding to overlap the...

    spraying with gloss?

    Just about every liquid gloss paint from your average DIY store states MUST NOT BE SPRAYED. mainly because it will require full breathing apps to use. (cost 10 times the sprayer). Most gloss would also be hard to dilute to get a good finish. The sprayer too will come with a very basic nozzle for...

    Can Pebble Dash Be Sprayed With Textured Masonry Paint ?

    Friend of mine does this job all the time using a high pressure airless sprayer like Graco. NOT I hasten to add with sandtex which would destroy the pump and gun within one job. (Clue: s'got sand innit), Acrylic based porous wall coating (£80 15 ltrs) will do about 60 mtrs , two coats. Newest...

    renduring confusion!

    Most render is sand & cement based. This is basically concrete, concrete is a structural product non porous and damp behind the render can not get out. This then results in the peeling off. made worse in winter when the wet walls freeze and thaw, causing expansion. If you do not stop the water...

    aquaseal roof coating

    There are more and more roofers with 30 yrs experience now doing coating. The bit of tile that does not show on a roof does not suffer from the same deterioration as it does not get wet or frost bitten, therefore does not need coating. But face it no one expects a roofer to tell a potential...
