    Who's right about this plastering/rendering: my builder or "the one with the attitude problem" ?

    A builder when mentioning waterproofing in a quote means putting a splash of waterproofer in the mix all this will do is stop the plastering from setting it will not act as a water proof barrier. To waterproof anything internally you need to apply a tanking slurry, usually for below ground or...

    Plastering over painted masonry

    I've done a couple of these as long as the existing render is sound, wire attachment on a grinder to take off any loose paint ,cut lines with said grinder for a good key ,rendagrit then mesh basecoat and silicone finish takes all the hassle out of hacking off .
