    German product to repair cracked internal walls
    Plasterers - 6 answers

    Hi all, I need some advice. I'm about to hire a builder to modernise my flat. There a fair few cracks on a couple of walls. Nothing structural just your run of the mill period property issue. Most of the builders told me that they will rack out all cracks, apply mesh and then skim. One builder tells me that he won't skim all the walls. Instead use a German product and will apply it on these troubled walls and sand down and make good these walls. I kept asking him what is this "magic" product. He doesn't want to tell me, Instead he kept saying you can't find it here? Does anyone know what is this product might be or is he just telling me the fibs? Is the mesh and skimming the best option for me?

    Slow draining sink and washing machine waste backing up
    Drainage Specialists - 6 answers

    I own the top floor flat of a 3 story building. In May, my tenant noticed that the kitchen sink was draining slowly so after a lot of trying with drain unblocker, I got a plumber out who chucked stronger stuff down there which seemed to do the job. A few weeks ago, the problem came back as well as the washing machine waste backing up and leaking all over the floor. Someone came out who found a block in my pipework and cleared it out and the sink was draining fine, until she used her washing machine which seemed to block it all up again. Next I had a drainage company out who suggested it could be a blockage or build up in the stack pipe. They put a camera up the pipe and couldn’t see any blockage, but they couldn’t get right to the top. They also played around with the pipes and noticed that as soon as you loosened the joints, water drained away easily. So, they recommended an air admittance valve was installed. So a plumber did that and STILL no luck.

    Drywalling or plastering?
    Plasterers - 7 answers

    We are about to embark on a kitchen remodel on our new house, and stripped back the lovely paper that was on the walls and ceiling (!) to find chipped and cracked concrete with some plaster where the tiles were. Is it possible to plaster this, or would it be better to drywall? Thanks!
