Yep Letting agent told me he manages a group of flats where the tenants were forced to leave due to ews1 and cladding . So flats vacant , unmortgagable and each owner needs to find 50k to cover the work !! ?

Ews1 I have flats with zero cladding . Every lender wants an ews1 - currently flats are unmortgagable . So for any lender AND cladding AND self build going to be a nightmare

I can’t get 3 x 2 timber so get 4 x 2 at obviously increased cost . BM get some 3 x 2 in and the lots gone within 24 hours . Even basic paint is becoming harder to source

Though not helpful undoubtedly the equity / value of the property has increased ??

Got my laser temp pointer thing . Windows definitely very warm . Also the front bedroom with minimum issues is lots cooler . Yesterday when spraying quite warm ( but not hot ) - today 23 degrees . But as I say walls / ceilings perfect . I’m sure it’s got something to do with heat ( hottest day of the year so far !! ) . Hmmmmmmmm

Not sure what “ tag rag “ is - will Google . Plaster about 2/3 weeks old so dry for sure . Really only around Windows mostly - so with polythene on *assume* hotter than the rest of the house - drying too fast ??? Appreciate you asking a plasterer

Ask in paint shop Tuesday see what they say . Ceilings and walls perfect though so a bit annoyed

Scrapped this window reveal . Comes off easy with a blunt chisel . More worried about the peeling paint above it on the wall . Don’t want to scrape the whole wall !! ???

I agree now ! Problem with baby sprayer as it’s so diluted it just runs . I’ll leave it like this for now . I need to get the girth Wagner out for the hallway once skimmed - so might go over this bit with the ‘ proper ‘ sprayer . Just a pita cleaning the Wagner beast. !

Scrapped back paint . Plaster underneath still has mist coat . Tried baby sprayer . Blocked instantly. Had to dilute paint 5 to 1 to get it to spray . Runs now of course !! Will wait 10 mins between each spray and see if I can build it up

I did mist coat everything with a basic white paint first . Difficult to do “ thin coats “ with a sprayer !! . I’ll scrape back one window reveal ... Once back to the plaster will mist coat that bit ( with a brush ) Worried about diluting the final coat paint as it might run - but guess that’s best .

Tempted to remove loose around one window . Then respray with my baby sprayer . Leave it until Monday and see if that solves the issue

Get a blunt chisel and remove loose parts - then respray ??

Seems worse around doorways and corners -....

Aasrrgghhh ! Assume either went on to thick or simply dried out too fast . What’s best ? Respray this ? Dilute the paint ? Gentle and carefully just use a brush ??

Suck on this @Onoff

Guys - best to buy your walk on glazing before prices rise

Yes indeed . My shop is always open

I went for it Even the Wagner extension rod doesn’t seem to work ! Just a dribble ! Back to the short nozzle . Man in paint shop said not to dilute just mix well . Kept blocking over and over again ! I then ran out of paint ( sprayers seem to use tons more ) Sent SWMBO to get more Mixed the 2nd tub in and magic . No blocking - runs like a dream ! I’m over stretching to do ceiling and the mess on me is amusing . But the quality of finish is the dogs ! ? Photos don’t do justice . Perfect white not one dribble ( not one !! ) Almost like a skilled man did it

You know a man that can
