Thanks for the replies. Ive built extensions to both sides in flat render and just given them a mist coat of Sandtex. Will paint proper when finished. The plan is to tile hang the top half of the old house and flat render over the remaining Tyrolean and square the front bay to join the porch so...

Both cheeks of the same ar.e

Right cheek

Left cheek.

Oops sent without picture.

Bloody heat!!! Was geared up to top coat the front of my new build porch on Monday gone following arrival back from France. I thought it was the only day before the temperature went skyward. I WAS WRONG. It was going off faster than I could rub it up. Should've have done one cheek at a...

Yes I know but the drive is much lower than the level where the floor is. I spent yesterday lifting the the sand up from the drive into the dumper with my digger. Then it chucked it down and the dumper got stuck (Twice!!) halfway around to where the tarp is outside the floor so if that had been...

Hello Dan, I sprayed it with a Refina gun and small compressor so only used one jet on the gun. 5 plastering sand, 1 cement, 1 lime. The gun has gone back to the hirer but got a good offer on a new one so thought I might buy it. Either that or give the job to a spread. Near Caterham junction 6...

Self builder looking for a renderer to top coat side extension in Surrey. I have scratch coated it with a gun and compressor and drip / angle beads are on. Thinking of buying a new gun as more extending to do and possible insulation board to the front elevation. Would anyone be interested in...
