throwing a big hammer drill around for a few hours will find muscles you didn't know you had. We removed 28 sqmtrs of exterior concrete render in 2-3 hours with a hired compressor and a £20 air hammer from Machine Mart. fast light and very effective , might be dusty inside thou'

interesting issues there. Keep us informed about how it goes. Just for records, what kind of thickness is the ceiling/walls to the surface? Also interested in the interior wall surface and what it is made up of. Cheers Need to knowloads more.

I have done work on many a mullion as these, the biggest problem is the paint. becasue the cold comes through, the interior of the house is warm and the condensation has nowhere to go. Are the mullions real stone or art-stone (reconstituted stone)? Waterproofing the outside can help with a...

I have a Spit Pulsa 700p that will put a 1" nail into a steel RSJ. I find it a very usefull tool and though nails and gas are not cheap, the time saving is worth it.

I bought two pairs of these at atrade fair and found them brilliant. www. safe-eyes.co.uk they are fine mesh and work well. Hope this helps PS they were a tenner.

They are at it again. January, minus degree temperatures and they are cleaning and coating roof this week. We dried it with a gas burner, it will be OK> NOT There is not a roof coating product in the industry that can be applied to a frozen roof or any tiles that are colder than 5 degrees...

We have installed the credit card facility as we got asked on a regular basis by clients. £20 a month rental and minimum £'s per month thru' the machine or £30 extra. Since then only 1-2 per montn pay, Problem worth considering: On two occasions over the last year, Card Tarts have tried to...

I have upgraded to £30 or so a month thinking that one job a month would do to repay. I have send 57 messages to potential clients with only 4 replys all of which have not offered to let me see the job in the flesh. I think many posters on these site only want a rough, maybe I will type price...

BBA certs are often 'bought' as a part of a parent company and used for other 'partner' companiies. So not an exact 'proof of perfect' assurance. The system is pretty much unknown and as mentioned above a bit unusual in its presentation. (Love the posh Geordie accents).

FELT is no longer used, but breathable membrane is, they will replace battons and nails too, this will stop any tiles falling off (especially after heavy show this year) £3800 depends on size, but I would not reduce the price more than £1800-2000. Unless its a critical issue that will stop them...

Aquasheeeeee sorry almost. ??!! 8-( The system they have IS a legitimate system which we have used for years. The issue is the methods, or lack of methods they use. Not cleaned properly, no proper anti-fungal treatment, not alowing cement to dry before one thick coat rather than two. They...

The copper used for these add on ridge pieces will help keep moss away IF you get plenty of rain on a regular basis. They will not however get rid of a good blanket of moss more than a few tiles down from the top. The suppliers even starte this in there bumph ! Cleaning and treating and a...

Victorian mid terrace? I guess its slate, no felt and 2x1 battons. If its leaking then roof bond wil not seal it as its foam (spongelike after time). Consider having it stripped, new membrane, new battons and use mostly existing tiles. Couple of £000 well spent.

If it a concern, have the roof re-fitted using mainly existing tiles and breathable membrane fitted with new battons. £3-5k depending on size.

the tile has probably snapped under the tile above then the half you can see has fallen into the gap between the battons. The recent freeze could put extra force on any cracks caused by previous work. Replacement tile I think :roll:

The trend for cleaning roofs is now very common, YET few companies add a long term answer as cleaning alone takes the surface off the roof tiles. (Concrete) adding a moss killer (industrial not DIY store), is still only going to prevent moss coming back within 18mths -2yrs. Roof-coaters have...

Found the leaflet and on webbed it too, they are in Manchester and have worked all over UK and France. There are a few films on youtube the name on account is kkhhoona ??? Hope this helps PS the card with my brochure has Pete Johnson on it 0800 630 0010 cheers Harley

the problem with clay as noseall yis the delaminate fron the back, so those saying the roof looks good from the photos is misguided. I do however feel you may have been approached by either Roy Rodgers or roof coating companies. though the roof may not collapse, the tiles will continue to...

Got a great Pulsa nail gun that will put on a sheet of mesh in about 10 seconds including washers. Nails are £48 for 500 with gas, Hire one or PM me for a borrow. In S Manchester.

there is a fairly new process called Deco pierre I saw at the Home builders show that is made to look like stone. Over old or new walls. The bloke said they had made the stand on plasterboard but it looked a felt like stone. Sure they must be on the net but it might be one word. Decpierre and...
