Reply to original question: Depending on how bad the original render is would depend on how to attack the problem. If it is loose, sounds hollow when tapped then it will have to come off. If it is quite solid just loose pebbles then you can remove all the loose pebbles and give the render...

No not really, I just hate the scum who do things like that. Makes my blood boil. You look at things differently when you have 2 teenage daughters. Sorry if i sounded a little weird. I know its only in jest, But unfortunately my sense of humour doesn't go that low.

Your havin a laurf arent you. I never go on chat rooms. cheers friend!

Carryon, Hows the build going? have you finished your extension yet ?

Stop editing your posts shy :D Your going to make me look like a right love struck sad git

Funny :D here look at the top post then underneath ???? you tell me? op asking about dashing problem followed by 3 adverts

Shy, Honest mate. I will prove it too you. Ive just done a screen dump, give me a sec and i will post the picture WITH THE ADVERT

Is it my computer or have the adds gone mad on this forum ? My comp is showing an advert under the OP original message before the first reply :? maybe i have disabled my anti spam wear or something ? anyone else seeing this ?

Shy, Who you use for your crete ? I wish i could get it for £68 ish per m3. Last job i did we poured almost 60 m3 and the cheapest i could get that for was £85.00 per m3 That was only because of the qty needed. Must be more expensive up in lancashire, all the wear and tear on the...

I know this is a DIY forum and we love to give you advice on how to do things but i feel this one is something you should leave to a trades man. Dashing is a very difficult job to do and you will not get a good finish unles you are pretty damb good at plastering. have you a piccie of the...

Cheers bax. Very helpful thanks. I shall tell him to get a boiler guy in. I aint messing with it.

Yes i know all this but if it were me doing it and i was contracted to do all the work ie, digout, lay footings and brickwork, then i would have done the strip and come out with trench block then away with the bricks. just my preference, I'm in no way suggesting what the guy has done is...

WOW 6.5m3 of the grey stuff for a conny footing :shock: Rest assured that wont be going anywhere :D I think the builder may have mis-interpreted what you wanted, 1 meter down then 250mm strip footing would have been fine. Then again he has saved himself coming out of the ground...

No, Its not meant to read that by NOT insulating your walls you will be ok not having a vent The vent will not break into the cavity merely pass through it. Usually a 100mm diameter plastic tube is inserted through the cavity so air entering the room is from outside. The chimney being used...

Just line the opening with 12.5mm plaster board not forgetting the chimney opening. Most fires draw air from the front sides then push the heated air from the top front of the fire. Your instructions will give a measurement that you will have to allow for air circulation. Dont worry to...

Baxmax, The boiler is just under 2 years old, would you expect a problem with this so soon ? Am i looking for a leak ?

Im sure they have an obligation to point it out to you but not sure if they can refuse to carry out work unless they fit one ? Maybe its all to do with british gas offering the service?

Yes its relativly straight forward so long as you dont go to wide. If its a standard fire then all should be ok although a picture would help. You will probably find a steel band has been used to form an arch that is quite high up. Usually you will find a lintel has already been fitted below...

The reason for the air vent is not to stop condensation but more importantly stop you from killing yourself. It is there to let air into the room to aid combustion. If your room is well sealed up, eventually your fire would burn all the oxygen in the room. You would slip asleep watching...
