    RUBBERCRETE

    I understand. What do you make of its BBA certificate? I thought it was hard to get that. Tell me more about why you think this product is bad. I wanted to go for traditional soundproofing methods but I need a low profile solution, the test result PDFs suggest this product performs very well...

    RUBBERCRETE

    hehehe great comments you guys crack me up! Seriously these guys claim to have their product tested for both sound and thermal insulation and the results just seem unbelievable compared to all the soundproofing products out there like panels etc. All one need do is mix it slap it on 20mm...

    RUBBERCRETE

    Hi can I ask if anyone has any experience with using a product called Rubbercrete http://www.rubbercrete.co.uk/index.php The test results look impressive but I want to get real life feedback from people who have used it, how easy is it for a competent plasterer to use, is it effective at...

    essexandy i think your right, isnt that how they did things in the old days? They must have started with render but then mixed everything left over from the building site to make the pink "stuff" on my walls. Here is another angle of the wall, you can see a top layer of plaster then the stuff.

    remove old bonding from wall

    Del I have no idea, can you go back a page and look at the photo? It looks brown so I just assumed it was bonding of some sort, but someone mentioned it could be rendering of some sort?

    remove old bonding from wall

    Thanks Oasis - You are quite right I am planning to hire someone, its a major pain and I am already negotiating with my neighbours to get it done as fast as possible. I'm just doing my research. Thanks Nisis - That might be just the product I'm looking for to cover the exposed brickwork before...

    remove old bonding from wall

    Thanks Nisus, forgive my ignorance but what do you mean by hack off, does that mean hack the render off the walls off? If so using which tools? I came across something called an electric chipping hammer, what do you think? Can you tell me a little more about what you mean by sound coat, do you...

    The building is actually a block of flats. The job is in central london. Please keep your comments constructive even if they are critical.

    remove old bonding from wall

    yes thats right I will be using resilient bars. Im concerned about the lumpyness of the artex, its not very very thick but the resilient bars are supposed to be installed on a flat surface (unless you say otherwise?). In which case I can either scrape as much of the spikes flat and then screw...

    Well I will do 1 ceiling but there is no bonding on it, its solid concrete. It does have artex on it but I cant be sure if its the old artex with asbestos.

    remove old bonding from wall

    Im very grateful for your comments. It seems like removing bonding would be a tough job. I'm not looking to do every single wall, just the main wall in my bedroom and living room where "flanking" sounds travel from other flats. They are about 2.6mx3.8m. Lets say in theory I asked my neighbours...

    remove old bonding from wall

    hi there the panels are made by a company called phonewell, they are 1200x800mm and 15mm thick. They have to be covered by 12.5mm or 15mm "blue" plasterboard (the type used in soundproofing). So the total would be 27.5mm thanks for answering

    remove old bonding from wall

    Hi everyone I'd like to ask for an informed opinion on whether or not I should remove old bonding from my walls in preparation for some soundproofing treatment. I live in an old 1920s block in a small 1 bedroom flat, all the walls are brick and the ceilings and floors are concrete. Its very...
