Old render and pebbledash to stone

I bought a second hand P700 paslode spit off ebay for £90 + 25 for a service and just used it for fixing over 3000 15mm nails into concrete. Gas and nails (for steel and concrete) were £48 for 500 with gas. So I would research the price of nails if yur not a pro user. PS gas always seems to ru...

look on youtube there seems to be many trades there, all showing work they have done.

Aquash / seal / have used Mathy in the past but also one or two other makes of coating. Can you verify the problem and your location. There seems to be a lot of issues with this product and I am doing a bit of a report on the 'companies' (freelance writer for mags etc). There is a growing...

Hi sub, I have found the company on YOUTUBE, search Decopierre they have different dealers all over Europe. And a few in UK I think

If you render a damp wall, which has blown bricks etc , its a bit like adding two (or three) sheets of glass. Each one is not moisture permiable and with capillary action, any one will draw water up and come off in time. Better to add a breathable lime base render, and I saw a good version on...

There are a few options but what type of finish do you want to end up with. Smooth, painted, Decopierre, :?:

just seen same at our neighbours place, the workers put insulation in, ply, mesh and then coloured render that is finsihed in stones effect. only took 2 days.I can take a photo if you want

You can power wash but a 30 mtr hose is good so the machine stays on the floor. A 6ft lance and turbo nozzle helps. Concrete tiles are designed to last 35-40 yrs (Marley archive), and need sealing once cleaned, otherwise you are giving moss spors a nice new bed to lie in. Wash down with...

does not work well in standard render products, you could however become a Decopierre artisan. search on youtube for decopierre and try and get hold of deco pete, this is the effect you wants I think.

we have succesfully rendered over ply for 10 years. get some roofing membrane, breathable, metal lath, rib lath uses less covercoat and don't use sand and cement (which is concrete), Search Decopierre for samples. :roll:

black out blinds only work if cassette enclosed, fabic alone does not work. Inserts are 85% usefull, but questions. Shapes; triangles, rectangles ???/ Best method is external coverage. More info if you want it. :)

Average:Marley, concrete type tiles 3 tiles per mtr counting from gutter to ridge (say 15 tiles = 5 mtrs) Measure gutter length (counting does not work cos tiles are different widths). height x width = sqmtrs. x 2 = both sides. Average bungalow is around 112 sqmtrs For hips (triangles)...

watch out below 5 degs..... have you got someone to do it yet?

Hi would the finsih not be better in stone, rather than render or plain. I know noseall will know better, but take a look at decopierre on youtube, they seem to have an answer.

go with the flow... or go the opposite way and have a stone effect or brick render look>>>>> decopierre on youtube is facinating and a real altenative. Lime render, breathable and any color.

blue flag halifax have done a number of outside insulations with stone/brick finishes using Decopierre. There was a rumour of a grant too, find Decopierre on youtube I am sure they will help
