Hi, I’m going to attempt to Render a bit of my house wall where the porch is … it’s only a couple of m2 so thought instead of using sand/ cement I’d use one coat … maybe like tarmac etc any How do you still need to use mesh when using one coat? It’s going ontop of tile backer Thanks Jake

Good point woody!

Woody i think he’s more concerned about dpc level and damp from the patio, think he just worded it wrong

Thanks Catlad Regards Jake

Hi blup it’s approximately 740cm thanks Jake

Hi I’m assuming you mean aco’s? If 75mm is all you have to work with and install aco’s it will be fine however if there is a way to get 150mm below your doc that would be the better and preferred option Best wishes Jake

Hi This is my Loft, there’s no Other like it ! Thank Goodness lol any how i Need to strengthen the joists I haven’t got the head height to lay Them Above the old joists so will To go next to them Parallel. The current joists are joined as shown in the picture And these rest obviously rest on...

Ok that makes more sense of What your trying to accomplish, any sort of plaster board on there and you will Regret it in that vicinity . You really have two options imo 1-clean the brickwork Up skim some browning on then skim coat on top of there 2- put some tile backer board on and skim that...

What are you actually trying to do with it?

Notch you are correct

Personally I’d brick/block it up and install a vent then on your pots puts some ridge tiles or caps. Once bricked up then skim it. This will allow the chimney to breath and air flow but not cause damp.

Do you mean dot and dab? First of all you need to find out why it’s cracking ie movement in the boards or just a rubbish tape job. Once that is done I’d scrim tape it , pva and the just skim it with multi Regards Jake

Personally I wouldn’t use 10mm poly, they use it on new builds and it causes more issues then anything. 15mm will give you better flow and is more stable , poly tends to Ben especially the hot water v cold no matter how matter how many clips you have… the best solution would be to find the leak...

Hi Ronnie, I really appreciate the time looking into that for me…it will be a poly roof as it has less weight then a wooden/ tiled one. Yes I need to install a double sealed cover inside… it’s a total pain doing it this way more then the standard way but they don’t want pressure on the drainage...

Hi Ronnie, Thanks for your reply, I’m not sure I’ll need building regs for a conservatory as the external door will be in place and no radiator… I’d be using rather 6x2 or 8x2 joists… it wouldn’t be timber walls as it will be a full height conservatory so where the bottom is is upvc not brick.

Thanks Freddie

Thanks woody

Don’t forget about the height it’s 3 metres to the eaves … the council came out to measure mine as Someone clomp Laibes, they were very happy it was spot on , its worth making it a little smaller then over and the 3x1 m2 is externally not internally Thanks Jake
