how much you want for it?

Looks like he hasn’t dampened down the substrate before applying the hard wall Also when putting hardwall on its better to apply in two or three layers as it kills the suction and stops it drying out to fast The skim looks like he has left the hardwall to long and the suction has got him...

Could this be it?

I use a trolly from machine mart £30 can hold a few trowels and 100 kg in weight you can also screw stuff on it if need be

Thanks zolco for the informative reply Them rates look shocking to me I know a local firm that done airless on a job I tendered for . The top floor was airless and the other 2 floors was skimmed due to the poor quality of application and finish but it was end of winter so inexperience...

Ok thanks Zolco So more time on preparation and flattening walls Most reskims we do the walls are really bad so not sure how much quicker airless would be Do you think it’s a better system or only on certain jobs?

Was looking into airless for a couple of full reskims Would you advise against it ? Is it something I could just rent the tools and have a go at without going on a course befog

I keep looking for used ones but either looking in the wrong place or they are very rare

What you talking about He is not asking what is a screed

I only way 11 stone so a extra two I wouldn’t be able to move lol

Yeah I think family life makes a big difference as you get no rest time

In the same boat I’m 42 been doing since 17 Speed is slowly going and it’s getting harder mentally and physically I got a few people that work for me so not to bad That’s why so intrested in airless plaster as it looks less demanding on the body

Yeah is a big outlay must be looking at near on 6 k for all the stuff Looking for easier ways to work now as getting older

Off topic but skimming related Just out of intrest all the guys that went to the airless plaster day how many have used it since?

Could you not smell it as you was putting it on? Cat sh-it stinks , had it before but builder would not get new sand

That’s how you made time lot learn made sure you was well in front

Yes you are totally correct plus the funny thing was they wanted you to work to a schedule of about 3 weeks plus sign a contract and retention and all the other b*ll***s that goes with it

I just turned down a external lime job on a 5 bed listed house due to starting in December! Some companies never listen

Most young guys you pay on a Friday don’t turn up on a Monday

The problem is you get some guys that will just use them as cheap labour when banking the money In theory it’s a great idea but let’s face it the building trade is full of people trying to make a fast few quid and I could see it being abused

We done 3 barns on one site with soundboards don’t know why the had them as they was all detached We didn’t have a problem with them but they do suck in quicker than normal Plus them barns get bloody hot if insulated properly so that don’t help Like you say if they have been up some...

Just use it everyday

im off to Spain next week can you send me one to

We done 9 big barns for one guy last year all @ 5% And he has another 4 coming up so it must be a good money spinner

Yeah probably correct or they are waiting for flynnman to age

I thought that too was getting my debit card ready for the pay per view money . Can this matchup happen ?

Was the job that bad or is airless just limited to what you can do with it?

Don't talk football for the kids that's like a job in itself traveling miles every weekend

MAP(UK) Unit 12, Lakes Farm, Off Queenborough Lane, Rayne, Braintree, Essex CM77 6TE If i remember correctly you can order and pay and go pick up , but you can't pay in there

It's called a xtralite miles better then the gold handle one , I think there is Marshall town outlet in Braintree Essex you can order from but not sure on the prices it's marshalltown tools . Co.uk

What's cheap out of interest?

Sounds like you have been to Braintree

A decent amount might be what the sparky charges you

Squatting might not be a good idea if you got a slight bulge of a disc it might do more harm then good

Good luck

Problem is everyone thinks they can cut and stick board , most small builders now get the labourers to do it so that's the result

First time on the hod was a floor screed on second floor flats near earls cone, Was 17 and the guy on the mixer would load them up as much as he could Every time I got to the top it was "your taking your time"

In what way?

Yeah but not been down that way for a few years just wondering if it's any better now

Ilford still got a Bollywood cinema?

Also one of the firms shut shop yesterday as they know fingers are going to be pointed

I didn't say they was did I

I didn't take the news team long last night as they was ringing the main contractors

They are now questioning the insulation on the new cladding which is a good point , not saying it started the fire but look how it spread , how fire resistant is some of these new external insulations ?
