The drive was treated with our moss cleaner (Rooof Mousse) before we left. Client then used a lillte DIY power washer the following day. Having said that the block paving was covered all the time we were there, so the residue white stuff was just marble dust. :)

there had been a survey done by potential buyer and there was a roof issue,(now sorted) and walls needed new dashing (commented on survey). Buyer pulled out. Customer found us on web. and I believe the houses opposite that were sand blasted brick, sold for £12k more than his asking price. So...

You work with what ur given. The house was re-windowed, roof is 'bent' and the side wall has a 2" wide crack top to bottom. Clent is selling, and being London, kerb appeal helps to get the £300k asking price. (I know, I know, £90-£100k up'th north.) :roll:

The darker background is sprayed on first (coloured with pigments in the mixer) and just as it starts to harden, the top coat is coloured different, and sprayed over 3-4mm thick. With a spray gun the 'patching' is added with 2-3 different colours to get the LB look, then once a crust starts to...

Thanks for quick reply. The loose bits are being removed today/tomorrow, and the whole wall power washed. We already have spraying equip so can coat withn the slurry fairly quickly. I have not done much work on this stuff as last time we used membrane and steel mesh, but that took ages and a...

Thanks Joe, funny how the same bricks have been used for over 300 years in London. Spose you are one of those 70's pebbledash lovers. I have to add that the walls are still wet at this point and will settle down within a week. The neighbours house??????? nothing.

Moss Go kills it, but it stays where it is until the rain fills your gutters and downspouts with dead moss. Copper wire?????? Just how much rain will hit ba 2mm thick piece of wire to create the Copper Sulphate??? NO ACID RAIN any more so even the 'real' copper sheets system £30 per mtr fitted)...

Fast one ..... tyrolean finish on a 260mtr outside. (surface not flamable or melting under flame). What do I prep it with to ensure a lime based finsh will stick. Do I groove it with a diamond disc, mesh it or use SBA or something. Can I spray a lime slurry on to create a bond. Cheers Guys.

K Rend is good, they also do K-Lime for pointing etc: There is Decopierre too, that is coloured on site to your requirements. Pre bagged too. The finish is slightly grity, but made up of limestone, marble and hydraulic lime . Can be sprayed on too.
