Guys, have any of you ever been requested to strip of a rendered smooth house and re-plastered. The Plaster is badly cracking all over (hazing) and is boast in a lot of parts. The customer wants it stripped off with a kango and a new scratch coat and a rubbed up smooth render coat,
Is there an...
Does anyone actually use a Marshal town only all the way through. I think I might start off with a Nela trowel and maybe go for the other tools later. At what stage should I use a Nela s*p*r*lex
Def not a new build. Prob do no harm leaving the walls the way they are but look as rough as a badgers arse. Get it stripped and replastered and don’t forgot to pay top notch for us wonderful plasterers.
Any of you guys render without lime in the mix. We never use it in Ireland. Doing my own house now. So might do it right this time. But never had a problem without it

I have them. Class pair for the money.
Not sure if this has been done before. But I am building and need some quick advice.
I am going for 150mm cavity. I was thinking of pumping the cavity with the beads and using the 50mm insulation & plasterboard on the inside of the house along the external walls.
There is another option which...
I know a man who done it inside granny flat 16 yrs ago. Living room small kitchen and bathroom. Insulation sheet pinned to the wall, eml then scratch, float and skim finish. Not one crack to this day. Not sure why he done it this way but he did and it worked.
I just seen a house been done with kingspan insulation board on the outside of a house. It was pinned on with the mushroom pins, loads of them. Then some sort of building paper/vapour barrier. Then on top of that expanded metal lath. Scratch coated and rendered smooth. The guy said he done it...
Why would you fill one cavity half full. I would fill the cavity full and use insulation boards inside the house on the external walls. The inside room would lose 50mm cause of the depth of the wall but its not much.
It's 50mm insulation boards with plasterboard stuck to them. I fix them to the...
I remember them days of protection money. Mad days. Insulated plasterboard. are you sure it loses heat quicker.
I can say for sure I will be getting good quality sand. I done a house and the sand wasn't great. Plastering was excellent, then hairline cracks started to appear down the line...
I just packed in playing the xbox. Up untill 4am then fuxked the next day. No more games. Its good at the time but that online gaming is addictive. Takes over your life.
Yea I asked the boss about a transit. Said she didn't want a white transit sitting in front of the house lol.
Going for the berlingo. Just gonna treat it like gold. Proper service when its needed
I was thinking of a smooth render finish and doing it right. Unlike some house I seen, A bad render finish looks terrible. Maybe do something to minimize the cracks around window heads too.
I will definitely be putting insulation & plasterboard (50mm) on all the external walls inside and...
Building my own home in Ireland. Starting end of January. It is going to be a 2 story detached. I was gonna rub it up smooth render, but thinking of maybe a different finish. Maybe the external insulation stuff.
What would you do to your own home
Yea this one has. I don't see what the big deal is about vans coming out of England. All the sellers in N.Ireland site say the van is just out of England. Not sure why they say this
Had a look at that site. They don't mention mileage. I need a 3 seater, might just go for the berlingo. It has a full service history warranted mileage, 6 month warranty.
Hope i'm not making a mistake
Happy New Year all, and thanks Danny for TPF.
Its come a long way. I come on here for plastering ideas and tips. But also for advice on a van and always great help from everyone.
Damn, a shitroen - is that the name they have. Really wanted it. Maybe I need to look else where. Any other vans you guys would suggest. Maybe not to big. Small transit maybe
Hi all
Any of you guys know you vans.
Was thinking of buying a 2013 Berlingo with 100000k on the clock costing £5500
We are getting a lot of these vans coming from England to be sold Ireland. Looks like they were electricians or something. Gonna be used for homers.
