The barn owls are using the tower but not nesting in it. After building them the luxury pad....they decided to have 3 chicks in the house. The ecologist was out on site a few months ago and also found bats in the tower.

I'm renovating a 1850's brick terrace in Bolton, Geocell is now installed and at the stage of putting in the underfloor heating pipes then limecrete screed the floor. NHL 5 is ordered from Mike Wye but I only have a barrel mixer, do you hire out the auger mixer? It's a small area, less than 20 sq m at 150mm
@UKRestorationServicesКүн бұрын
Hey, apologies for not replying sooner. We have a towable pan mixer. if we are doing small areas we use the Baron mixers....maybe two of them. drop use an email if you need to hire anything.

I need to do this in my granite cottage; dig up the (thin) concrete floor, excavate then lay the glass and limecrete. I have a paddle mixer and plenty of quicklime kibble, so I'm tempted to use hotlime for the mix, possibly with pozzolans. I need to do more research though on compressive strength; my current information is that pure lime has a higher ultimate compressive strength than NHL due to the free lime content, but offset on the convenience side in terms of initial setting time. A thick floor isn't going to carbonate quickly. I'm wondering if a pozzolanic hotlime would be a reasonable compromise though. 🤔 I'm clearly still at the research stage! 🙂

@@UKRestorationServices We have the same issues here in Australia with old buildings. But with a lot less moisture. But still salt damp and a loss of the technologies that were used to build the houses when the colonists came. Actually in one particular local cellar door there is a wall you dont lean on because it's mud mortar from the 1860s. You get quite dusty if you do. No lime !

@UKRestorationServices3 ай бұрын
Hi thanks for the comment. I would not recommend installing the limecrete over the concrete. If you have good external water levels and good drainage around the building it would just leave the concrete. It is more important to control the external factors. This needs to be done even when installing limecrete, like in the video. Rather than remove the concrete use the funds to externally repoint, improve drainage etc. Limecrete is preferred but not essential.
