  1. Cheers Simon, hopefully your job turns out well, are you doing on a timber frame build? I’ve used that in my bathroom actually and it’s good stuff…probably too good for this job especially as there’s some serious meterage…tbh you can’t actually see it because the nozzle goes between the boards slightly and wipe away excess. Also tempted to use a nail gun with stainless ring shanks to pin the bottom edge of the board to the next one. I actually managed to get a video of the boards moving in the wind today, I’ll see if I can upload it to YouTube and put the link up if anyone’s interested?
  2. Hi Ralph, thanks for your reply and sorry to hear about your issues! What colour is yours? Mines C05 grey and is ok bar some green growth appearing…I guess there’s no such thing as maintenance free so like you say, perhaps thermowood cladding might have been a good idea. Don’t get me started on crack handed trades, paint from the cut edges all over my soffit! I think I’ll look at hiring something to get me up there and go belts and braces with continuous bead of something really sticky and face fix in a few places…hopefully it won’t be too noticeable as it is quite high up.
  3. Has anyone experienced issues? We have timber frame construction with blind fixed Cedral lap and with all the wind lately it’s becoming almost unbearable! In the past I’ve had a go at improving it working off a ladder running a bead of mastic between the planks helped a little bit on the worst offenders but it’s still really noisy from wind causing vibration. Tempted to go whole hog and re scaffold and perhaps face fix in addition, although this is advised against in the Marley installation docs. Any comments welcome, even if it’s to say “should have brick skinned it” or just gone with traditional brick and block construction which is something I often think about! …next time perhaps. Cheers
  4. Hi all, has anyone used this mortgage product? I jointly own a family home and have completed my build, need to raise £350k but can't take out a residential mortgage because of affordability (100% of joint mortgage goes on credit file!). I'm basically looking at options for me to keep the new build so have briefly looked at the criteria for BTL- affordability based on income multiples etc not factored and debt consolidation permitted. I'm beginning to think this could be a good idea, are there any drawbacks (other than having to return to family home and rent out the new build)? Could I move back in after say a 6month tenancy but leave the lending product in place? I can afford to service the debt from my income. Keen to hear thoughts from those that have a better working knowledge of mortgage products/borrowing. Cheers
  5. Perfect, good for security!
  6. Thanks for the input, it's given me lots to think about!
  7. Hi all, any ideas for screening these containers? Don't want to plant anything too wide and take up garden space and it needs to be tall enough to obscure them when looking out from upstairs really also. Probably somewhere in the region of 10ft? Thought about a high section of trellis fixed to the fence but a bit concerned about the wind catching it. Also, whilst on the subject of gardening! Seeding or turfing this lot? Never done either tbh. Any bright ideas? thanks!
  8. Hi all, has anyone used this or seen it used for drive surface covering? Don't fancy paying out to have mine paved, just going to do the path in pavers then run the stone through over the type 1 I think.
  9. @Pete which board did you fit and was that parex ehi render?
  10. I’ve spent ages looking at boards and think I’ve decided on bluclad (also feedback from trades is its easier to work with which might interest you if fitting yourself) Ive had two render prices for attached- works out about 100sqm. Coming in at £6800-£7500 for render materials and labour. My carpenter has battened and will be fitting the boards, labour only £3700! So I’m basically looking at about £13k (inc boards) to complete the ground floor only, by comparison Marley board on the first floor is about £3k cheaper for a larger area!

  11. I’ve found it. Bluclad Exterior render board.pdf
  12. Having said that, I’ve now attached the cert and there’s not a huge amount regarding fixing!
  13. Many idea of a rough price per sq m for applying the Weber MT system to a render board? OP, I’m about to complete my timber frame with Bluclad and Weber’s MT system, all details are on the systems BBA certificate I think. Have you had any quotes for the render? I’m looking at approx £68/sq m for rendering (excluding board fixing by others) weber.rend MT Siniat Bluclad.pdf.pdf
  14. How did you get on Rusty? I'm a bit concerned about this now as my new build is TF with Marley cement weatherboard to first floor an render to ground (Aquapanel and ..?)
  15. Hi all, having trouble getting a system and contractor for ground floor render and wanted to fully clad (see planning drawing). I emailed the planner and he advised a Variation Of Condition application but thinks it’s not in keeping. I want to get the house water tight ASAP, wondered if too risky to fully clad and then put in the application and hope? Currently; Regs_Gray_B_L02_(Elevations).pdf
