It works. I promise you

Thanks everyone, I'm fine. On another note Marshy is going to be off work for quite a while with 7 broken ribs + head injuries and erectile dysfunction. I'm happy to give a donation for his milf viagra fund if one is set up ?

Thanks all, back from being dead again. It's not as bad as it's made out to be, you just see everyone from above. I'm worse than marshy here in hospital perving the nurses. Appreciate your generous offers but I'm fine and going home tomorrow. The reason I ended up being dead again was because of...

Yep, have been for a while. Got bad tremors though and my balance is bad. Hospital f**k up apparently. Got an old boy working for me, 69 and fit as feck !!!

Hi Stu, improving mate thanks, 1st time on here in ages, will have a trawl through what ive been missing tomorrow

Me and flynnyman been telling you for years that damp doesn't rise in bricks. So last century dahlings x

Where did the lathing plaster come from ? , thought it was solid granite walls ? Solid granite is obviously cold and can definitely cause mould problems inside. Warm air inside condenses on cold external walls. In Cornwall you'll probably have local lads experienced in lime plastering, get their...

Can't tell from limited info and 1 pic. Probably best to get a local specialist to look at it. But from that pic alone it looks like black mould which happens in areas where there is no air circulation plus covered in wallpaper. If you can see salts on the wall the 1st thing to do would be to...

Thanks but probably about 6 miles from me so out of my comfort zone The other lads I'm sure will look after the OP

The guy was correct about taking out the course of paving bricks that butt up to the house. You should also dig down a foot or so and fill with pea shingle. This is known as a French drain and allows surface water to drain away from the building. While the polystyrene on the thermals is...

Also it is entirely natural for ground to be wet, unless you bought your house in the Sahara or similar.

No such thingas rising damp, improve your underfloor ventilation, check on external ground levels and investigate drains. Pound to a penny if you hack off them damp areas you've got bonding plaster or similar

Looks like it'll cost you a fortune in materials. Normally you use a Sika system which is hard work and can crack or a membrane system with a sump pump which is also expensive but effective if installed correctly. Unless you're in central London or a very posh area it's generally not cost...

Hmmm

Dabbing this tomorrow, plus another 2m2 max. Polish guy walking past with a can of Tyskie in his hand said he'll skim it for £250 cash. Fecking hell, me hands are shaking like crazy but I'll stick a bag of half time in + dirty water and I'll finish it in 45 mins .Gutted i wasnt getting these...

You know something i don't ?

And he'd probably end up sacked 1st day when he goes through his medical problems. IM THE FECKIN SICK ONE FFS

7 miles away. His mobility scooter can't travel that far

Bump again, spoke to pagey, he is in sarf landan, I'm East so that's 6 miles away or in artside landan accent, 3 hr drive . Update, got a flat to overskim aswel, the lad that was supposed to do it may n't be available so maybe an opportunity for a 1st class skimmer but if you're shite, sacked...

The OP seems to be an Irish man, most likely a proper builder/tradesman looking for someone that can screed aswel. That rules out 75% of the people on here. I don't know him but you should have some respect before you shoot him down

Not bad thanks, had a liver scan come back as ok considering the amount of booze I've done in the past 30+ years. Still got shakes which only manifest when I'm concentrating on doing something e.g putting a screw in etc. May try the cbd oil. Cheers for the concern

Salts are quite common. Wipe off with a soft brush , paint some watered down salt neutraliser onto affected areas , repeat if necessary. Eventually wall should dry out but Sika1 walls prone to cracking like all sand and cement. That's why I don't tank basements anymore , well that and my hands...

Tend to agree with you there about not dabbing onto the plugs but I got some Permagard pb2 and they say you should dab onto the plugs to make it more rigid

Rule of thumb. Shake the full container of pva in the merchants. If it seems thick and gloopy- good. If it seems watery like fosters- s**t. You get what you pay for. If Stella made pva........

Feckin hell, that's a relief

Does it speak English ?

Bump

That heritage house guy has been copying and pasting my posts :numberone:

Hi all A few of you will know me as a member on here and will know I'm not really fit enough to work at the moment. I am, however still getting a lot of calls on domestic work for damp proofing, boarding and skimming. You won't need to know a lot about damp proofing but MUST be able to float and...

No

Hello all Just like to say a big thank you to everyone that contributed and for all the messages, offers of help etc. It is VERY much appreciated. I'm please to say that after visiting Danny's house with my mates, the money is no longer 'resting' in his account as Fr Ted would say. I'm still...

I don't think it would be fair claiming from the Irish system when I paid my taxes to the British system

No probs Andy, still not recovered from all the drugs they gave me so reading into things. Thanks everyone

@essexandy

Or Irish by the looks of it

I feel a little bit offended by that Andy

Thanks Morgan, appreciate it. Seeing citizens advice tomorrow. Can't believe how complicated it is. Never claimed a penny in my life. Had 9 mpnths off 8 yrs ago after a hit and run, lived off savings etc . Never realised how many hoops they make you jump through for something you have paid taxes...

Looks like Leigh on sea then

Went there yrs ago and it was really. Nice

Shite Heath service

Had been planning to do that, maybe Broadstairs in Kent

To be honest it's not something I want to do and deffo not long term. The way I am at the moment it looks like I won't be fit to work for a long time. Like everyone I've got a mortgage and bills to pay but I know what you mean. I see neighbours that don't and never will work getting everything...

Cheers mate. Been paying tax and class 1 for 30 yrs, class 2 for 2 yrs. Maybe I should burn my passport, get a dinghy from Libya to Greece, turn up in London wearing rags and get myself a nice council house. Seems the way forward...

That's awful mate , sorry to hear. Best wishes to you and the family

I only started paying stamps a couple of yrs ago

Thanks mate, never even thought of that

Evening all. First of all, thanks to everyone that has helped me out recently, much appreciated. Health updates are my new asthma medication seems to be working and my heart seems ok. Unfortunately my hands shake that much that I can't even hold a cup of tea or put a spoon of sugar into a cup...
