Speedskims are good if you have a big area. I've always used mt but just got a refina 16" s*p*r*lex and it is amazing. Saves loads of time and leaves the same finish if not better.

Put in a couple of vents. Trickle vents on windows could help if you don't have them already.

I've been waiting since the 3rd jan. They said they're waiting for new stock from Germany and it'll be in 3rd week of jan.

R&j are spot on with me like. I use them all the time. Scrim, beads, pva, sbr, tanking slurry screws & clouts mainly and I save a fortune.

Cracking review. Just ordered one. Enjoy your commision marshy.

Just got the dewalt dab yesterday. Can't wait to get to work to get it cranked up to max. Just need to buy a new cordless now so the batteries fit. My last dewalt fm radio lasted a week before a tub of pva spilled on it. I wouldn't advise mixing electronics with pva. They don't get on.

You could scrape back the artex. Scrim any cracks. Hack off any blown plaster. Put angle beads on and give everywhere a good coat of pva if you want. If I was you I'd let him do it. Your paying him.

The new dewalt 18v is really good. A lot lighter than the old ones. £150 in B&Q at the moment. Can't go wrong with dewalt.

2mm, speedskim, sponge, trowel.

It's like Venetian plaster. Needs to be put on with a scraper in coats from different directions. A few decent tutorials on youtube.

R&j hardware in Blackburn are cheap as chips. I get all my beads, pva scrim and tanking slurry etc from them and it's half the price I pay locally. Free nationwide delivery over £50 too. I can give you my reps number if you want or just google them.

If your selling it then it will as it's the first thing the new buyers will do so saves them a job. If it doesn't add value it will certainly make it easier to sell.

Also the weber app is really good if your into external render systems.

You won't be able to just use them by being told what they do. You need training up.

I'd get about £2000 for that but if your pricing like that and getting most of them I'd carry on pricing like that.
