    OUCH

  2. If your over two floor NO If your over three YES
  3. As with all building related quotes Get several Quotes often vary wildly for the same amount of work
  4. It depends on what you mean as before completion
  5. Your better off hiring 2 tone is small for moving soil around
  6. Good advise Put the surplus render on market place
  7. Just to set your account up Weve been in with a meter fitted for twelve months and still no bill
  8. Isn’t it 3kw and below don’t require any ventilation You shouldn’t need a stove any higher than 3
  9. I used a woodgrain cement board on three plots about ten years ago Still looks like the day it was fine Easy to cut with a guillotine
  10. He should have sealed them before grouting
  11. They should be cut back before plastering They rarely are When I ask plasterers or renderers that work for me Why didn’t you run a saw down the packers They nearly always say the same thing “If they can’t be bothered Why should we “ Fitters-Joiners are wasting there time putting them in If they leave them in the way
  12. Yes Parge for airtightness has had it day We used to use tones of the stuff each week and befor that a coat of sand and cement for Barrats when they first started fit and dab Using board finish to dab the boards on with Back then the block work was atrocious Full of snots and gaps straight through the cavity Then BC cracked down and insisted joints where pointed and bar rubbed and everything sealed around joists With twelve months No more Parge We use 100-200 bags per year For what it says on the bag Sound Coat Mainly LA apartments The amount of pressure that would be needed to force air through a fence concrete block Would have little problem finding it’s way through 5 mil of plaster Just a thought Don’t use any kind of Parge on dry thermal blocks Ive just finished doing a bill of quantities for 80 houses for WD that will score zero on an air test With the same blue shit to spray on Gypliner Insulated slabs Ply Then insulated PB The site is in Oldham I’m pretty sure the people moving into them will appreciate our efforts
  13. I fitted my swing gates on our previous build and that’s all I used The box of tricks that came with the motor was all colour coded Very similar to an automated garage door
  14. I keep saying it Parge for airtightness is a total waste of time and money Only self builders do it now
  15. Strip the moulding off and plasterboard over the face of the timber and put a skim bead on the edge Easy option Skim the ceiling and fix a 50 mil 90 degree cover mould over the edge
