bite the bullit mate if its as bad as you say hack it off!

depends on your other coats and size of stone mate,say you scratch 4-1-1,butter coat 5-1-1,then 5-1-1-2 for the thrown coat,do believe you can buy wet dash of the shelf.

step back and take a look mate ,but if you do do it for £400 your a better man than me,allthough the prices you have been quoted may be a bit steep but a good renderer will want £300 a day with a lab,you need a good knowledge of backgrounds and mix strength ,do you have those? edit to say ,ask...

as youve got to upgrade the insulation pin the gable with some kingspans mesh with hp12,its a full mesh and double cross mesh at stress points,then whatever top coat you fancy,sounds hard? no! even a skimmer could do it. edit to say building control can sit on your shoulder if they want!

suction problem mate,when you damp down a wall,wet it till the wall stops sucking ,till it gives a litte water back.

you payed your money,got your gaurantee,now get them back,simples.

is your builder named dick turpin by any chance?i think your having your pants pulled down!the last house i spread onsite payed £1800 labour,three beds an the garadge lid,do the maths m8!

two months ,still wet ,you my friend still have a leak!

money was good in the early nineties,trouble was when you use seka its usually on high rise an your a e is hanging out of a cradle

sorry micilin missed the bit on the seka gear,520 is or was(haven't used any for a few years) a concrete repair mortar,used for skimming smooth faced concrete/repairs,3mm of this tack is equal to75mm of concrete,yes thats right 3 inc of concrete,down side is it cost two arms an three legs but...

wasnt having a pop at you mate,just the way i see things,and noted your points but your going a long way for a poxy garden wall :?

and are you going to stop it rising up these gravel boards?,render dont break down cause it gets wet ,ive used stuff that can go 100 m down if you want(incoment 520) tis when it gets trapped then freezes,expands that causes damage,as for the salt ,hose it down a few times they wont come out...

why all this dpm,w/p stuff if its a garden wall it dont matter,if its solid ie not swinging in the wind,then i suppose you could render it.w/p two sides and not protecting the top could buy you a moisture trap as micilin says,then it will blow ,must say ive never do any thing the like so my...

not sure about the question,is this a garden wall?

may i add you might whish to add a drip to your bottom timber by taping on a bit of small cheap quadrant bang in the midle of your lath.

im not comparing anything quality wise,im sure every spread would go with float coats in there own house,but its speed and drying/decoration times that win the day,pluss the fact you need a much less skilled/cheaper workforce and the op can still hang his telly up! :)

and you no float +set work,i do ,i also no a well dabed wall can take the pressure,jmo.

stop bead with spit fix thats if the radius allows,to tight and you will have to buy off the shelf,last time i did it was £30 a length,but it makes rounds a doddle.

op just trust your spread ,hes 64 an prolly better than the entire forum,your paying him for his knowledge,just let him get on ,you may be talking to milkmen on here,dont try and secound guess the tradesman

unless its made of copper no.
