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:
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
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...
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...
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...
Soda blasting is a soft clean off option if you have a good budget, maybe a good quality petrol power washer (2.5-3000 psi) with a turbo nozzle. I have a real love of this BEFORE AFTER. one day 52 mtrs. 8) Cool
Talk to Pete Johnson (or Thompson??) at 080 063 00010 They have a lime finish that has been approved by *Oxford and Peterborough conseravtion offices for replacement of old stone with their system. I had regular contact with these *jobs for stone not quarried since 1700's and in keeping with the...
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...
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...
Sound like an expensive 'add-on' < Most are pre made bent and then you have to bend the lath or lath vertically. Stone effect panels may be usefull or abs SLATE EFFECT companies like Decopierre North. etc may help.
Just another off shoot from Aquashield. Same style, same methods, as a susual same quality...... poor. Shop around, get 4-5 quotes do not pay more than £20 per sq:mtr Search aquashield here or on moneysavingexpert, make your own mind up.
Nice to see 3 men in white overalls trying to do a roof by hand. A real 'dogs' dinner. Can they not afford an airless sprayer? Or are they actually painting a terracotta roof to look like a concrete tiles? Just seen an advert for painting concrete rendered walls. Render.... sand...
Oh oh just opened an e-mail from a diynot viewer, how the ell e got my e-mail address I don't know yet..... One of these roof,s is 12 months old, the other has been coated. Cao Bella
