So i'm trying to match the tyrolean finish as close as possible on my house. The render has been completely removed on one side of the house and scratch coat has been applied with a 3/1 ratio. I'm looking at buying some of the tyrolean mix that goes with water to try it but can it be applied directly on the scratch coat or does it need a top coat first? If i mix my own tyrolean could i put that straight onto the scratch coat or will i need another coat either way? I'm seeing mixed messages regarding whether it can be applied directly onto the scratch coat or if a topcoat needs to be applied. Thanks for any advice.

How do you price a painting or wallpapering job. Is this based on day rate or dimensions of place to be decorated?
I had a roofer inspect a flat roof a couple of months ago, who then made some patch repairs using torch on felt. Another roofer cam to quote for a replacement roof today and said the felt hadn't been torched on properly and water had got underneath the add on section. The felt could be lifted up without much effort and some of the edges on the felt underneath seemed to be peeling away. He then recommended I remove all of the add on felt as this was far worse than just having the felt below it. First of all, how bad of a job is this and secondly, is this likely to have caused any major damage in two months given we've been having a lot of rain? I appreciate any answers and you taking the time to respond.
If tiles are being used for decorative rather than functional purposes, it is OK to stick them on with grab glue rather than tile adhesive?
I am concerned about a possible leak from my chimney. The water seems to be leaking through the ceiling of the upstairs walls but it is not far from the point that the chimney flue passes by. Without actually getting up onto the roof, is there any other way I can check whats causing it?
