my nephew doesn`t know which is the best , which is why i have asked on here if there is a sto-rend equivalent that he can get for me and i can install,

Which is why i asked for an equivalent !! :)

i dont need luck, i just need to know what is the best system to go for, then i can ask my nephew to order it for me, i`ll be installing and applying the materials myself, I`d like to keep it to 40mm, so what is the best sto-rend equivalent that can be installed by anyone!???

it would be cheaper to have a sto-rend approved guy put the 80mm on!

the cavity has muck snots everywhere, so isnt worth it(so the cavity wall insulation company said) :)

thanks on the reveals i`m not gonna get 80mm or 50 come to that, so would the heat poor out there? I`m not too obsessed with the UV i`m sure anything is better than nothing, and the outside needs doing as its a mess also. My nephew owes me a favour and is getting the stuff for me btw :)

hi, i`m looking to insulate my own house , its a 1930`s with a 1 inch cavity :( so i need to insulate the outside, i was told that to bring it up to current UV value i need 80mm of insulation. I could put 80 mm on but that would mean changing a lot of the sills and extending a few tile verges...

with a drill/mixer

anyone had these little air pockets tho???

just read a pdf online that says i should knock the slurry up 1:1 with water? ive been doing it neat. could this cause the problem??

hi, been using SBR as a bonding agent , but recently once the scratch coat has cured and we top coat it, there are loads of little air bubbles, Been using everbuilds SBR, mixing it with cement to make a paste, priming it first where needed, then rendering while its tacky?? is this right...

and fixing the lath, do you over lap 100mm or fix it with no over lap ? i thought i saw some where you wire it together?? cheers jason

.. going over quite an even back ground and will sbr slurry it prior to rendering over the lath,, but can u get over the 10mm lath in 2 coats?? (scratch and top coat) ta jason

I need something like this on my house... I bought a 4 bed detached 1930`s house nearly two years ago and renovated it. finishing it nov.08 and i have rented out since but the guy i rented it to is moving out as he cant afford to live there. Its on LPG and he reckons it costs £120 a week in LPG...

God bless the makita radio, ..... nice work btw.
