Houses from that era do not have cavities

Make that 99.99per cent hack it off, it looks crap, do a nice k rend off white render, or a cheaper way, 6.1.1 plastering sand, cement, hydrated lime,sponge finish ,then either paint or leave as it is.

COme back a week later, cracks on walls where beads fixed with multi or board finish.

Thats a mighty big gauge, best i could ever manage was two 25kg bags, maybe 6 bags in a day ,thats approx 80 sq metre, surely thats enough for anyone.

Sounds good, should work.

I would pva it, use Carlite Bonding to float it, then skim with multifinish, provided the existing render is sound.

Dashing not gonna stick on painted brick .

Good luck with that, gobshite.

England is now an expensive sh#t hole, thanks to dopey Brexiteers who listened to the bullshit from Johnson and Farage, and left the biggest trading block in the world, the EU.

I would not use waterproofer on wall, it slows down the setting time forever and a day, dump it, plastering sand, cement, hydrated lime, 6.1.1.

In the old days b4 self adhesive scrim, spreads would put a bed of finish on the joints and stick bandage scrim onto the joints, perhaps the silly p##ck is still doing that method.

Looks like one coat skimming, not a good idea, Should be 2 coats. PVA it and reskim, scratch it on, lay it down, flatten it, trowel it up,go to the wall 5 times, simple.

Use dri wall adhesive,support it from floor with t-piece or similar til it goes off.

More to life than money, you cant be serious.

I thought tenner per m2, its a very mild artex more of a swirl, i will only scrape off the high spots, i thought of overboarding and skim, may still put it to client.
