    Joining wall and floor damp proof membrane

    What I would have done in that circumstance was to leave "strips" of dpm built into dpc level, so when the dpm for the floor was laid it could have had an ample overlap, other that that just looks like you have to lay it, making sure it covers the footing below dpc on the sides, then when the...

    Joining wall and floor damp proof membrane

    When footings are built up to dpc level, and then your dpm (floor) is ready to lay, make sure it goes up and overlaps the dpc level. Lay concrete, and when ready to build the superstructure, cut the dpm to stop it bridging the cavity, then lay dpc, then build

    Question to Bricklayers

    Make sure you use ties that can bend easily, not the rigid type it will be a nightmare! (stainless steel) Make sure the ties a plenty long enough to bend down a course and still have enough bearing. Place ties on normal when you build the block work, every two courses for insulation to clip, and...

    Render scarifier

    There are quiet a few on-line tool shops, I know a lot, but not all, A render scarifier is what I call it, others may call it something else, keyword searches do not help you on these matters. Hence hard to find, it was a question if any body knew for one, or maybe has used one. Sarcastic...

    water coming through weeps

    Now I think I know what your problem is, its coming from a weep hole that is above your patio door which leads into your conservatory? Well this is because of what I said in my earlier post, rain hits the external leaf and runs down the internal of this leaf, then out through the weep holes...

    water coming through weeps

    Joe do you mean by running down the inside walls, the internal leaf of a cavity wall?. If you do then I agree with you something is wrong, but water does penetrate the outer leaf and runs down the inside of the outer leaf. That's why weep holes are put in on cavity trays above openings, if the...

    Skimming - one or two coats?

    I always scrim joints with self adhesive scrim, then plaster it all. One coat as then "polishing" is like giving a second coat, as your filling in voids and scraping away high spots. Have you thought of just taping and jointing? Nice finish when done good, as you cant get flatter than a...
