I've been offered a job doing insulated render mesh basecoat and topcoat does anyone know on average the square meterage an average lad can do in a day all in cheers
imo you need a 2&1 to do base mesh & top the mesh is hand full on your tod me & my mates used to do a 3 storey front in a day but that was flat out 4 ecotex coatings what a bunch ov ***** they were:-0 good :RpS_laugh: thou
No mate it's the insulated render system were doing the 15 mm stuff at the mo, do these prices above include insulation fixings base coat Inc mesh beads and top coat?.....how much is it to supply the kit per m ?
I will PM you sponk about rates because I like you but I must stick to the Kings policy of keeping the dirty laundry out of the public view
on the other side you could ins.board yourself and mesh yourself if need be but a helper meshing is good. you cannot texture on your own tho - depending on area you will need good hands on deck in numbers
dont fear mate once you get the hang of it the texture becomes the icing on the cake but your arm aches, your clothes are sh1t up and it stinks - luv it dont give the texture to someone else tho, no no.
i had some lads working for me last year the labour only rate they worked for was fix 50mm EPS boards £10.00 per m2 6 fixings in each... basecoat and mesh £5.00 per m2 and top coat 1.5mm acrylic £3.50 per m2 total £18.50 per m2 and thats gospel
top coats a dobble if the base coat is nice and flat wuth no mesh showing through.... i prefer top coat any day of the week... just rubbing it up mind to hard on the elbows laying it on...
Prices seem to have decreased on site. A few years ago £ 5 was normal for insulation and £12-13 for mesh base and top. I think it was Atkins spunk down the SA1
Cheers lads what's the crack with the top coat when it comes to timing with the float I've done a bit of noblow and scraped the b*****d on as tight as I can and floated it but it looks like I'm getting the odd swirl how far are you behind the chap laying on and do you give it the big swirl to spread it and a light one after or just finish as you're going?
spunky just get it on as tight as you can with your trowel and the lad behind you rubbing up should be right behind you so as quick as its getting put on you mate is rubbing it but get him also to scrape with his plastic float before he rubs it .just remember to keep wet joints all the time and you wont have any problems mate
last job i did was in peebles 78m2 with a 2 and 1 gang we set off 5am got to site 8.30 am had the base and mesh on for 3pm and that included rearranging all the scaffolding... spent 1 night in digs.. next moring we were ther for 8.30 after full english and 3 cups of tea... top coated the lot by 2pm and back in shitley bay for 5pm...
most of the (bucket acrylic/silicone)texture top coats trap in and seal the base too so if any moisture were remaining it could shell the top coat in time or weep through and colour run other risks are wt texture over a prolonged period leaving it open to damage rainwash etc
