    Injecting a DPC

    Yea..........i have used the creams a couple of times. It really is a simple process and given the testing that they have undergone I have to presume they work.......I say presume because you really cannot tell for many years if the damp brickwork has dried out. Dryzone is the market leader...

    Damp course/membrane on old tiled floor

    Hi Guys........any suggestions for a coating to be applied onto an old quarry tiled floor to add some damp protection. Owners do not wish to go to expense of full floor lift so they know whatever compromise is adopted it will come with a health warning. Slurry or bitumen maybe ???

    Is it ok To lay block paviors on old tarmac??

    Thanks for your comment but why? Why would it not work ? Tarmac planings have been used for years as a substitute for hardcore

    Is it ok To lay block paviors on old tarmac??

    And another thought for you to ponder....no text book would suggest laying a tarmac drive as a base for pavers but it don't mean it doesn't do the job

    Is it ok To lay block paviors on old tarmac??

    Ho Ho.......I'm in stitches :twisted: Now how about adding your reasoning in this matter so that we may all benefit from your undoubted expertise. My thought is that old tarmac must be as sound as any compacted hardcore as a base but as I said in my initial post I am keen to get other...

    Is it ok To lay block paviors on old tarmac??

    Tarmac drive is on its way out. Would it work to lay block pavers on top of sand screed on top of the old tarmac assuming new edgings are laid on sand/cement in the normal way?? I can't think of any obviouse problem but maybe there is. There is a slight fall on the drive. Any thoughts would...

    Ken Clarke and Rape....am I missing something

    Ken Clarke and Rape....am I missing something

    So Ken Clarke tells us there are some kinds of rape that are less serious than others and gets ridiculed...........but isn't he correct or am I missing something. I am not a woman but surely to be raped by your husband for instance cannot be as awful as being raped by a group of strangers

    Monaco GP

    Maybe I've got this wrong but.........ain't the aim of GP racing to find the best driver of the best car! What we have is a pit lane contest........who can change the tyres the quickest. Button clearly the quickest with 6 laps to go would have remained in third on a track that is about the...
