if your accounts arent adding up they just keep digging.if you cant account for say £5000 in a year they can assume youve done that each year before and fine you accordingly.mines been going on for nearly a year.

that is true but its common knowledge that they are concentrating on sole traders and small businesses in our area.my plastering mate is also going through it.ive got answers to the questions and its not really a big deal.im quite an honest tax payer.i had a subby in the other day to try out.he...

exactly

ive tried everything including spraying varnish over the wood but they always have a chance of cracking.we inform the customer that it may or may not happen.if they dont mind the chance of a crack we leave them in but if they dont we take them out for a small charge but listening to you guys im...

is wba better than thistle or just cheaper.why is there a preference.im doing reskims in flats and the pva seems to sit canny long on the walls for some reason so im thinking of just coating all the walls in bond it so i can crack on first thing in the mornings.sounds like wickes might be the...

last time i ordered,this was the number.07769115485.ask for a sample of the genuine fiba tape..its good stuff.any probs with contact let me know.i dont mind sending a couple of rolls out if it means your jobs easier.

aye.most of it is crap but he sent me a sample roll for free and it is good so i bought a box and passed it around and everyone thinks its good.ring him up and get a sample or al post ya one if ya want.

mate.get in touch with chris at WACK in ashington.the scrim is fiba tape and its the best ive used.tends not to fray and sticks aswell.2 pound odd each which is a bit more expensive but worth it.does decent deals on all plastering gear and chucks in free stuff too.

alreet.may be neededing a good quality plasterer who puts a decent amount of skim on from later this month stroke next month.its to skim out flats in the newcastle area and will be for at least the rest of 2012.looking like a minimum of 3 days a week at the minute.i know its in the wrong...

wont warp in my truck where i live mate.cant remember what the sun looks like.

havnt used hardwall.why hardwall and not bonding.or have i had my head burried in the sand.scott from speedskim rang today.should have it in next day or two.

aye.multi it is.just watched a few youtube vids.that s*p*r*lex looks canny.might get one of those aswell.i just use a refina basic spatula to flatten in first coat.im aiming to make life a bit easier and these tools look impressive.do you still trowel up as normal when using the speedskim.is it...

lol.now i now how you are 100 percent sure.its you who did the video for it.nice one.im going to order one today and try it out.cheers mate

thanks chaps.think i will stick with multi for the moment then.

aye your right mate.looks like universal.the knauf sounds like its machine applied but they put it on by hand on the telly.just read up on it and it says to put a tight coat on then use the same mix to second coat then featheredge it off,spatula it off then sponge it and trowel it to a matt...

no good on a computer so wouldnt know how to get it but just type in speedskim on ebay and it was the only one that came up.it maybe tells you what it is but i thought id just ask the lads.thought we were just out of touch with the new materials.

can you tell me what the white finish is and why its used.dont know anybody thats used it round here or where you buy it but seen it on diy sos and its on ebays speedskim site.is it multi or board finish,whats the benefits etc.does anybody use it.cheers

aye but no good dot n dab again otherwise it will happen again.need to get the builder to sort his job before redoing plastering.or lath and board with inch jablite and foilback plasterboard.see where the balls are.if low down could be rising damp.if all over could be penetrating damp or...

has the extension been built with a cavity and insulated properly.is there warmth in the room.how high are the footballs.either way,sounds like it needs redoing.maybe try a different method if unsure.the builder should really know the cause.

hi.thanks for reply.dont mind travelling.let us know when things are up and running cos eager to get it done.thanks mate

a lot of it has got to do with first impressions.if you look edgy or arrogant you can easily loose the job.they like to be able to trust the person they are inviting into their home regardless if you are good or not.even when you subby work out you tend to get feedback on their attitude aswell...

i know not to try that trick then.ive dropped it ,kicked it and stood on it but never got it a pint .its not THAT good.

reckon yours is goosed mate.lol

we work off a day rate for builders,local authority etc but price work on the other jobs so its swings and roundabouts

i agree.

ive noticed a few of the pre fab council estates are being renovated around here.insulated and rendered first floor and brick effect ground floor and the contractors reckon its doddle and you can earn a bomb.even if its raining they just bolt the boards on ready to render.

thanks for half time replies chaps.lol.im open to advice so keep it coming.havnt even heard of clay plaster up here yet but will look into it mate.
