Wall Chasing (DIY?)

[DeeJunFan]

Hi Guys,

 

Just wondering if anyone could give me an idea of the cost for wall chasing?

 

Also is it a DIY job?  I can get a HILTI wall chaser for 2 weeks for about £60?

 

Thanks

Is this in lightweight blocks ..?? 

 

Easy DIY job but get some close fitting specs and a decent cylinder mask as you will need it ..!! Ideally do it when there are no windows in the building either ...!!

No Full Fat blocks

It's diy possible if you are mad in the head. My whole house was £200. Took the two guys half a day and they cleaned up after themselves. Dead sore on the wrist and back and unless you have a really good mask you will be eating dust for two weeks. 

Mine was priced per meter. After I had it all spray painted all the positions my spark sent the guy round he measured up told me the price and I said sold. All done a few hrs later.

Now that sounds like a good deal

 

Hopefully getting the slates started on Monday so will be thinking about the indoor work soon enough.

 

Doing it before the windows is likely a very good idea.

Def get it done then as the dust is unreal.

If needs must yes it is a DIY job, but you got to like grit in your eyes and the taste of dust!

 

Me and a mate did his and it took us longer than the pros by a mile.

Having done this in the past, I'd happily pay to have someone else do it!
