Cheers Guys, Think i will try Bonding then for the thermalite. Will that do the job OK jb ? Cheers

Ah i se. 2 coats... I always thought bonding was for low suction ? so what would i use in my newly built thermalite extension interior ? And dont say dry line... not a fan of it. Much prefare proper plaster. Mick

Cheers JB, PS tried my first plastering job with browning last week... found it REALLY difficult ? never have a problem when i render or use bonding.. probably just me

Cheers guys, I have seen rust popping out of some render especially on the corners? is this caused by the lathing rusting and will i get this eventually ?

Ok cheers Moz, So all will be ok ? do i need to add anything to the mix as the weather here is Russia can drop to -40 in the winter ? cheers

JB, sorry to hijack the post but you know the question i asked about the catnick and i showed you a piccie of the new extension ? Well i was also thinking of going over the original render as well in order to try and get it all looking as simular as possible. Am i ok to just go over...

Thanks for the reply. I pay the insurance thing to british gas. You know the one where they come and fix it . The old back boiler gave up last year and they fitted a complete new gas valve or something... didnt cost me anything so will i be covered with that ? Thanks. Mick

Hi all, With regards to an earlier post a few weeks ago regarding extending ring main into a new extension, just to update all who helped, my BCO officer wouldn't have it. I had to install new ring then get a periodic check to say all was ok. Still wasn't that bad and he was very helpful...

Hi all, Just a quick update for all you who helped with the information. I managed to do almost all the roof on Saturday but unfortunatly snow prevented me from finishing it today... :( www.phenomenalfireworks.co.uk/images/snow.jpg Does it look ok up to now ? I decided to go for...

Ok Guys and Galls. Here is todays problem. I have now finished fitting all the fascia's and soffits (also learnt how to spell FASCIA) i have fitted 9" fascias and 9" soffits, but what the heck do i do here www.phenomenalfireworks.co.uk/images/help.jpg There is a concrete plinth...

Ali68 & empip Thanks to both of you. If you look at the link you sent of the removal of the sofit and fascia, you can see the problem i thought would happen with having the fascia board so high. It creates a gulley so the water cant get into the gutter... I know it was quoted on here that...

Masona, Have you seen the plastic eves protectors ? they are thin black plastic that curl down into the gutter. I was thinking of using those. I think they about a meter in legnth and 3mm thick. Are these any good ? http://www.swishbp.co.uk/swish-122 Cheers

Cheers noseall, If you look at the picture, how will the underlay not form a water trap where it goes down the rafters then meets the fascia board. Once it reaches the board it will have to go up and over. Surely that will create a 40mm rise and hold water? Thanks Mick.

Cheers Guys, One question though, it may sound silly but wont the underlay now cause a water trap ? unless i am mistaken the underlay is layed on the rafters, then the 25mm x 50mm tile battons. Ok so the batton will bring up the level for the tiles But wont the felt be behind the facia ...

mnb cheers for the info once again :) I have now fitted the soffits and facia's. I have followed the instructions kindly posted by my mate stan and others. www.phenomenalfireworks.co.uk/images/soffit2.jpg does this look correct ? I have left it so it stands about 40/45 mm above the...
