I'm rendering the outside of a property with sand and cement render them tyrolean. Do i attach the drip beads, corner beads and stop beads whats the best method to attach them with? Pink grip, using some mix and dabbing them in, nails or some other adhesive? Any advice would be appreciated.

Just had a gable end wall rendered with tyrolean leaving a very lumpy uneven finish with outlines of the blockwork showing through (ghosting I believe its called) . The original render was hacked off, then a very thin coat of a grey material was sprayed on to the blockwork before they started spraying on the tryolean, they also did not removed a wood burner flue just sprayed around existing render. Now after rainfall not only do we have the uneven finish but the area around the flue looks damp for days. Builder has offered to recover the wall due to poor finish but I am worried job was not done correctly in the first place - should there have been some form of render applied after the thin grey substance and before the tyrolean?

I’m trying to prepare walls ready for a plasterer to come in and skim coat. I’ve taken off wallpaper back to the old skim coat, and the adhesive is a nightmare to get off. I’m not confident there won’t be residue left, so was going to apply gardz to solve that problem. Can a skim coat go straight over gardz, or will I need to PVA/SBR/Blue grit as well?

How much would it we to re-plaster a T-Shaped front porch all walls and ceiling? Cost to tile the concrete floor? Room area is 4 m squared.

We are looking to render our house but have read multiple conflicting reviews regarding K-Rend. Originally chose polar white as we want a slightly off white but have been told it’s more cream/yellow? Anyone have a better recommendation as to colour?

I have a semi-detached property and the render is coming off in places around the window. It looks sturdy elsewhere and it doesn't seem to extensive that it should all have to come off but can you patch these bits? How do you know If the render is in too bad of a condition, what do you use to patch? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, i noticed a crack in my artex ceiling.. I used the ladder to see if the crack moved when I pushed it and it did, a little. It's not a very long crack but I'm just wondering how i can fix it as i want to sell the house and just trying to sort out these cosmetic issues. You could say it's a hairline crack.

A painter came in and covered a ceiling crack using scrim tape with some plaster/filler. Taken off the top layer and while the tape looks stuck to the ceiling the top layer seems to be loose. Any suggestions what went wrong and how to fix it?

So, I've got a wall in my hallway that's back to brick. I'm going to hardwall directly onto the bricks but I'm stuck with that I do when it comes to the window. The windows are being replaced but i presume it would be better to do the hardwalling and plastering before the windows go on? Do i put some angle bead on to the brick and then apply the hardwall or the other way around? Then do i do the internal edge around the window before the windows or should i do the main wall then do the internal edge once the new windows are in? Any advice on the process i should be following would be great! Thanks

Hi I'm renovating my house and can see a few cracks on my walls, also is it normal to see the metal trims on the window? I feel like the plastering has been done very thinly
