How many flats are in the block? Dont quote me on this but im pretty sure they test one flat and assume the system works so carry on, thats not to say that short cuts are not taken and believe me they are. Same with the whole block the building inspector treats it as one house so checks entrance...

googled it without the z in it nad this came up http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=376777

Firstly they have been applied wrong, theres not enough dabs and the back of thermal board should be given a tight coat of adhesive then dabbed and screws with big heads should be used aswell as the dabs. Without takin all the boards off the only way to fix it is cut holes similar to the one...

he means amzes its a type of filler used in tape and jointing but to be honest the crack will probably come back :( Are the cracks on the ceiling or where the boards meet the wall?

pva the ceiling first and let that coat dry then pva again and skim when the pva is tacky, the mix depends on the pva ie cheap pva is usually watered down already, i usually mix it so it looks like milk not too wet not too thick..............

currys are selling a 58" flat screen Panasonic Viera for £65, theres a problem with the volume but at that price you cant turn it down......;)

you should have gave it two coats of pva let the first coat set than start skimming when the second coat is tacky but i nearly always overboard and skim less chance of problems and the difference in price compared to scrapeing, pva wait then pva again then skim is pennies.

did they use a sponge on it? This is what can happen when the plaster has set too quickly then brought back to life with a sponge, unfortunetly is only comes back to life and never sets. Is there lighter patches in places? i would rub them down and easy fill.

much prefer this version http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mmbQEQltOwM but alexs version sounds good.

for the sake of a few quid i would replace it.

the last site i was on they wouldnt let a fella and his son on until he paid for the card over the phone there and then he was the same just kept usin the pass certificate:shock: not theis time and they knew he had passed and exactly where his son was upto with his citb accesing.

i was at a funeral the day i took mine, had six pints and got every question right, mainly common sense but like what someone else said revise and remember your colours.....

normal skim bead will ba sound............

I can see the wall is damp but how did you work out from a pic that the damp is rising? vent the room and the problem should be solved. I was workin on an empty property last week and the water was runnin down the walls of all the internal walls that backed onto the outside walls (appart from...

any chance of a pic of the other side of that wall? the plastering does look rough so i cant see them being a reputable company, you say it backs onto your neighbours house on which wall? i doubt its rising damp that doesnt exist.. :)

aslong as its been skimmed and the tiling is done right i dont see any problems............

definetly over board, i wouldnt go down the day rate road either, get a price for the job ie overboard,skim and patch up the doorways.

lol....................................... :shock:

featheredge or darby depending on your level of skill but definetly the featheredge.
