Hi Guys

We are a Drylining firm who has recently been asked to do a bit of plastering. Please bear with me as i list the spec -----

CEMENT : SAND (AIR ENTRAINED) TO WET AREAS]
PREPERATION: Stipple Key
Undercoats: Mix 1:4-5 masonary cement: sand or 1:5-6 cement:sand (with air entraining admix)
Cement Type: Contractors choice
- Thickness (excluding dubbing out and keys) : 12mm
Final Coat: Mix: either 1:4-5 masonary cement:sand or 1:5-6 cement:sand with air entraining addmix
Thickness: 7mm
Finish: Plain

Now, in my limited knowlege this is 2 coat work? what sort of rates should i be paying plasterers? Based on VERY large areas. Ideally would like it sprayed on. This is just 1 of the specs i have. There are about 4 diferent specs. Wet/Dry areas. High impact etc

is there a bagged basecoat product that i can buy in? Or should i order sand + cement and mix on site?

Many thanks

Al

fine interiors, speak to simplybesty, southern monkey, grandwizard, sprayit, goody and theres a few others. they use machines day in day out, they actually know what they are talking about mate, unlike some

Sub it to a plastering rendering firm with a good reputation and listen to all the advice and procedures they have. Then copy them when you are confident you are capable

Thanks for the advice guys. Not all of it needs to be sprayed. Just a few Walls 30m x 8m. Figure it's better than lugging up the scaffold. There is about 7000m2 in total. Going to be an interesting challenge but very doable

i would want 10.50 per metre measured through all in maybe extra if theres lots of beads
