Any decent spreads looking for 6 weeks graft darlington area? starting this week hopefully? interested let me know....

cheers lads, @zombie yes i can advise the client but as an employee ive advised my boss but i was just getting general feed back from the other spreads! thats all sorry if i came across a k*!b

Its sand a cement like i said - im going with hydrated, i also know they are worlds apart as there is rendering where there is just lime and sand no cement- all based on carbantion etc for curing - like i said was just looking to see what others do but never mind i shouldnt be doing the job! ;)

zombie its not the case i cant do the job - its the advice im after, client says they want lime in okay theyve stipulated hydraulic or hydrated so i was getting a feedback to see what the rest of the guys prefer using for workability etc! As i know there is different methods with lime in...

I know it's a stupid question but when your not doing it day in and day out there is things that you forget, well i do anyway! We normally focus all our work on internal work with the odd external but since they've requested lime in its just through me a bit!

Doing a 20m2 S+C render on old masonary brickwork, client as now informed us he wants lime in this, what do you guys prefer using! cheers

heres one i did last year, stripped old render off, applied S&C render to walls then apply KA Tanking slurry with black dye in which has worked a treat makes the walls looking like they are made of lead, lush finish!!

ive never had any issues with pva when i glue the walls the day before, would rather do that then wait around for hours waiting for pva to go tacky!!!

cheers Rigsby!!

i restored a pre 1920s pond last year, what i did was, jet walls down, sbr walls, make good the walls, scratch coat,top coat and then i painted the entire walls with KA tanking slurry with the grey dye in, every visitor now belives the walls have been made out of lead!!

such a shame, never find anything like this funny mate!!! am there to make the gaffer money........ when you say scrape back sbr again, do yous mean apply another scratch or apply top coat to allow dashing? sorry its late and englands just drawn against russia lol!!
