Make sure you put the render 3mm more than bead and lightly rub down to bead to stop spalling, (obviously use plastic bead) Ive never had a problem. Yes you can mix weber pral with a mechanical wisk , for 5- 10 mins. You dont get ghosting from the blocks if you put it on thick...

I use weber pral m quite a lot and its similar to k rend but just a different manufacturer, to be honest its not that hard to do, and ts easier to get a good finish than with sand and cement render, Dont bother with a basecoat of sand and cement as it will only slow you down, monocouche render...

I agree with woody, if he only has a day left then holding back £850 is a bit excessive and maybe just holding back £250 would be fair, but if he has over a weeks work left then £850 would be fine to hold back, its all relative !

1) Optimize your website, its not that hard, I done my own by reading on forums ect, (I have ranked no1 for "builders birmingham" for the last year and half and it was not that hard. The best way to learn would be to buy a book called "the art of seo" 2) Create a facebook page and get...

The "simple cap" you mention is known as a durgo (air admittance valve) if this is broken then maybe this is the cause of the smell, So buy a new one from your local plumbing merchant, If the smell exists then it could be one of the traps on you sink or bath as seco services suggested.

Just wondering, why would you want to take one side of a stud wall down ?

If the plaster has blown Its best to take off plaster, I would not dot and dab it as it will add more weight to the already blown plaster. alternatively you could batten out wall (making sure screws fix into bricks and not plaster) and then overboard it and skim !

To be honest I think the pebble dash will be slightly more expensive but I don't think there will be much in it so I would go with what you would prefer the most ?

Who mentioned link farms ? nobody ! You said : " Only if they come from related (in one way or the other) and decent ranking sites. So getting a link from a site that only contains links could even be punished with a drop in ranking." in responce to "heatingeng" saying : "getting...

yes I know it's a old post and your point is ? Yes incoming links are important , I did not say otherwise, but you said incoming links from crap sites can get you penalised !yes or no ? Yes you did and as I say this is rubbish !

Rubbish !!! so if I put a link up for my competitor on a crappy site then google will drop his rankings......I wish :P Imagine all the people that would be doing this to each other. The worst that can happen is the link you have from a crappy site will only have no value whatsoever. Now...

They should vent through in to a corresponding air vent and then in to the void underneath the floor, but this depends if any insulation from cavity has got between the vents to stop airflow, the only way to find this out would be to take one of the vents out and check but you will have to...

As well as insulating the walls I would also recommend installing a extractor as well, although you have already added a air brick a extractor will get rid of any moisture a lot better.

It is hard to tell from picture but from the description given I doubt if it is damp it looks like something was on the wall before over skimming and has sucked through the skim whilst drying. Giving it a light rub down wont harm and may help adhesion of paint its a case of trial and error

I stand corrected although insulation can reduce any air loss in to loft. Any way My main point is house ventilation and loft ventilation are two seperate issues so to the OP "the soffit and fascias are not causing the mould"

I paid £150 (including design) for 5000 and they were good quality, so I would not pay over that. leaflets can get you some work but not much, but i believe the best thing to do would be get a website and learn how to...

Open up all air bricks again and use thermal underlay under all carpet(thermalay 10mm thick) and find a good thermal board to put under laminate, Not as good as completely insulating between all joists but as your on a budget (five year plan)!!

I go to a lot of jobs where the plaster has cracks in it and it needs skimming, the trouble is if the plaster is cracked it can sometimes mean the browning has become "live" (lost suction to wall) and over skimming does not sollve the problem as the backing coat is loose and as skim is only 2-...
