Hi I noticed you used a primer on the bricks presumably this is for a key and to even up suction and do you have to use a primer on all block and brick substrates? Can you also spray that base coat rather than hand apply and just flatten off?

Hi mate, I'm having an extension built with new 350 cavity walls, the existing is 330 but I want a flush finish, I'm having the new wall d&d obviously but how do I make up the 20mm discrepancy on the existing wall, would you fix another piece of plasterboard to the wall first, ( glued or screwed?) then just d&d the whole lot new and old and line completely flush, be interested to hear your thoughts mate, cheers 👍🏻
@worklife42212 ай бұрын
I would probably d&d some 9.5mm plasterboard to existing to bring it flush with the new wall and then d&d over the lot, the only reason for using 9.5mm is purely to give it a bit more adhesive when sticking rather than the dots of adhesive being to thin. Hope this helps

Can you go over Silicon render? Just had a guy do the render on the front of my house. Claimed it's good stuff, it will look better than next door, sounded like he knew what he was doing. I later realised he used the float to apply the render and didn't finish it off properly. Some bits look like a child was spreading Nutella on a slice of bread. Does it all need to come off again, or can it somehow be sanded down and gone over again? Or will it need to all come off and start again?
