Yes it worked saw it about 2 years after it was done and it was fine

@@onpointplastering Thank You!

What did you use to finish the wall, just multi finish?

@@stevem60 yes just multi and jobs been fine as I was in property a few times well after it was done

@@edenandmeadow thanks considering I'm mainly a plasterer / slater/renderer lol

I built the fence myself and had my m8 and his son help with artificial grass but could have done it all myself

It's got doubled up weed controll ,what membrane do you have in mind as far as I'm aware you want any rain water to drain away

I agree but I only do lead work now and again

Thanks very much

Type roughcasting into Google everyone I know know what roughcast means wet or dry different areas different sayings meanings that's all you have to say post some videos of your work

2 passes with k1 top coat onto new block you can leave it off the trowel before scratching back but I just find if you sponge it first it binds it all together I done it both ways and prefered sponging before going back to scratch it back hope this helps

I've heard of a welted drip and I know this from the edge folded back on itself around the perimeter of a flat roof where 4mm torch on felt has been used different areas have different names lol

Absolutely snowed under with local work atm for at least 3/4 months

Medium grade sponge is best suited for it ,that's what I've been using if you are new to sponging you do need to suss out what works for you but the results I get are phenomenal

Thanks for your help. I haven’t tried it yet but I’m building up to it. Seems to make sense tho 👍

@@lewigas290 and don't listen to the haters if you can suss the sponge it's another way to leave a great finish try different trowels aswell semiflex and ultraflex speedskims but you will need to figure alot out on your own

Never say never mate is my way of thinking. No one ever got anywhere by dismissing a way of doing things when you haven’t even tried it yourself. Still each to their own. Thanks for your advice I appreciate it. 👍

Bet you get good weather down there, we just need to go with the forecast and hope for the best

I think I mentioned that in one of the videos geotechstyle is what I normally use but only if customer pays for it I do maybe 3 roofs ayear if I'm lucky rest of time is k-rendering and plastering but I do know about barrier between lead and surface cheers anyway 👍

Can you use a roofing membrane and not the a1f paper? Is the a1f paper waterproof?

@redx11x not necessarily waterproof, but it stops the lead from rubbing on the exposed wood to allow expansion and contraction without fracturing. Breathable membrane is not supposed to be used as it breaks down pretty fast when the lead starts to oxidise. But these days you find alot of people use it .👎

Believe it or not I know this as the lime method let's it breath but just doing what I was told to do and I guarantee there's loads of people that will do it this way but thanks for the information goid for the future

@@onpointplastering I did the very same thing to my house way back in 1984. Builders told me that it was the right thing to do.I have just redone it in lime (nhl2). I found that the cement was causing water to come through the soft sandstone. This was damaging the face of the stone.

You can but I never put naked flames near a house lol a heat gun might be better option heard some horror stories of houses going up in flames and saw the aftermath of one such incident cheers for watching👍💪

I've had 2 dogs running around on it for 2 years and it's still like new and I'm not joking but buy quality and do the job correct and you can't go wrong

​@@onpointplasteringThat's encouraging to hear, I'm in the same boat with dogs and a sloped garden. Has the sub base shifted at all over the years? I'm worried my dogs running around will push it down the slope over time. Thanks

@@NIIS150 no as I put 4x2 (dug a small trench) underneath before laying grass I nailed through it with 6inch nails worked brilliant no movement whatsoever

Depends on ground but you do want top layer of grass out so about 2 or 3 inch

Thanks m8 I've also subscribed to your channe,l I need to upload more clips but been super busy the past 2 years

@@onpointplastering oh I seen Hope you’ve back on it now could be uploaded more videos coming in good man stay safe ?

We put coving up 👍

@@onpointplastering Ahhhhh 🙂

I make sure I do a strong pva mix apply that over old walls if the walls are full of hairline cracks then I bed in fiberglass mesh ,let the pva dry as much as possible most times I pva and prep the night before timings all depend on room temperature and the background there's no real time to it just what finish you are happy to leave I first and second coat with the same mix have done so for 20 years never had a come back

If its square slates similar to those slates they will double nail all of them that was just a repair job for a mate that's going to get his roof re slated pretty soon now

3 brutal storms would say other wise torrent rain with wind not a single leak hurry up and upload some of your work ,show me how it's done

@@onpointplastering I don’t have time to be getting people to video me chapping slates on not does the other boy we are to busy nailing each slate twice and 3 storms what’s that 1 year 7 year time the wind will fuck that roof

@@deanbarber5576 but you've got time to troll through TH-cam how busy are you 7 days a week 12 hour shifts by any chance do you have a years worth of work ahead of you and the roofs getting re done that's why it's not double nailed

My plasterwork was good but now it's even better great method to learn

Look in to that 1 I seen a fireplace get sand blasted and it turned out horrendous there's a company that does soft washing mainly for k-rend just depends on stonework if it's soft or hard

@@onpointplastering Gordon, thanks for the reply and excuse the late response. Actually, I am using a K rend system on my external wall insulation at the moment. The new build and existing build was base-coated with HP12 and then insulation (eps) applied over the top. Then, another basecoat and now we are applying Tudor chips over it. I will look at K rend products too for overcoating the sandstone (breathable for vapour diffusion of course).

Jeez I do roof slating roof tiling ,plastering ,roughcasting wet and dry hit ,k-rend,coving dot dab leadwork and your chinning me about a name if you do your research is a term used in Scotland all over to describe this work type roughcastung into Google and go to images thanks for watching 🤣

@@onpointplastering I typed in rough casting and pebble came up 🤣😂

@@darrenmorgan6735 to do with your area then I know it as roughcast, pebble dash ,dry hitdry dash, Harling I'm pretty sure people get the idea

@@onpointplastering how do I make the rough cast mate ? Is it stones in the mix just like concrete and then dash it on the scratch coat like pebble dash

@@darrenmorgan6735 roughcast/wethit has the chips mixed through it that's a dry hit where you just spread the mortar on then cast the chips on I now use pre bagged renders for my dry hit and k-rend overdash /roughcast where you just add water alot easier

Depends where you are located different names this is a dry hit and when aggregate is mixed with sand cement its a wet hit roughcast ,pebble dash, Harling roughcast to me is either a wet or dry hit in my area everyone calla it this hope this helps

Thats called pebble dash in north wales.

Canterbury spar or durite is what i know this as I'm now using pre mixed bags just add water but for sand cement I added a waterproofer and retarder

Believe me it has cover and I have no doubt about it

Where’s the cover ? It’s underneath the 2nd course abound it that’s where you get headlap and it less than 2 inch from the centre of the slate basically right in the water channel it’s a leak

@@deanbarber5576 making yourself look like you don't know how to work with slates that next slate fully covers the nail plenty of side lap and covet from slates I take it your not a roofer

Post some of your work up m8 always good to see other people's work

@@deanbarber5576 making yourself look very foolish 1.24 full slate over nail doesn't need anymore cover as that covers it by itself like a single lap tile god I really want to see your work now

Got along way to go before I'm half decent at leadwork might do night classes at somepoint cheers

I'm seeing videos with some nailing the lead all the way down and others only nailing at the top of each piece. Is top nailing only the best way?

I'm seeing videos with some nailing the lead all the way down and others only nailing at the top of each piece. Is top nailing only the best way?

I've seen people do that in the past but no way would I put any flame near a roof just asking for trouble and everyone had started somewhere learn from mistakes made

Are you asking me or are you telling me.You do realise you put a question mark at the end of your comment.

its also called pebble dash

@@grahammaxwell2112 Sorry Graham it's two different things, Google it .

Sorry I'm just to busy for a god few months

Had no spare slate had to keep full length of slate it was a quick patch up job as guy is getting roof fully re slated

Never had a problem if I hit a problem then I change it its the age old argument you do what works for you and I will always try out different things and methods for myself if it works goid if it doesn't then its easily sorted 😉

Post a video of your work keyboard warrior

I'm that rough that I've been busy as during this pandemic and I've got a years worth of work ahead of me show me your work then we can start a debate
