Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help guide what to do. I live in a semi-detached house, with neighbour's property connected to ours. The design of the roof is similar to this example: We've recently had some heavy rain and the water from the neighbour's roof has come down between the...

@ misterhelpful - LOL! I thought so. @motorbiking - You had scaffolding and it still took you a weekend with a sprayer? I'm surprised as I thought it would have been much quicker. I most likely will have to do one side at a time for each weekend and yes all the work will be done on a ladder.

Lol! So sorry misterrhelpful, I'm not doing the actual job straight away due to bad weather, so I thought might as well get an understanding of what to expect and do. My home is pretty large.. Semi-detached with 5 bedrooms, large double extension.

Hmm... You s your home pretty large?

Thanks motorbiking. How many litres could your sprayer store compared to the link you've posted?

Oh sorry, I just forgot, you mentioned in the other thread that I should use Bedec Barn Paint, but what's the difference between that and Johnstone's Stormshield Pliolite???

Excellent! Thank you again misterhelpful...much appreciated :)

no worries misterhelpful. I'll take your advice and just stick with just diluted paint. Would using a spray paint be okay? If so, how can I protect the doors & windows from getting spray on them?

@misterhelpful - I don't know about powdery, but the render is slowly crumbling...i.e. the pebbles are slowly falling out the render. @motorbiking - Which paint sprayer was it? Wouldn't the spray end up going on the doors and windows below?? how did you protect lower areas if you sprayed higher?

Hi guys, I've been posting on the Roof & Guttering thread and required your advice please. I won't repeat everything as it's already been mentioned HERE. Basically I would like to paint the pitched roof fascia which has flaky paint coming off. I was originally thinking of upvc cladding, but...

Thanks for your advice Woody. Sorry for the late reply. It sounds like a lot of headache and I'm just wondering if it might just be better to sand down and paint the wood.

BUMP!

Sorry, but you might have misunderstood...that photo is just one from google to show u what mine looks like. On mine the paint has flaked away and because this side of the house is more exposed, I thought it'd be wiser to protect it by covering it with a upvc BLACK fascia.

Thanks richard. Did you have to put the sealer on too or did you just put the weatherflex paint straight on???

Thank Chri5 - May I ask what make brand/type do I get?

Sorry woody, I wasn't being rude or owt...it's just that I thought maybe no one could see my thread/posts. Also my thread & content should have been a bit more specific. Which place would u recommend sell this for cheap and are there any instructions on how to put this on? Also won't nails...

So what do you suggest???

BUMP!

Well that's what Yorkshire stone/random stone properties are like:- http://www.yorkshireinsulation.co.uk/cavity-insulation-stone-houses.php5

Yes it has a narrow cavity. Question is firstly is it safe and wise to full a yorkshire stone hard-to-treat cavity with insulation?
