I'm currently on holiday in Sardinia and visited Tharros where you can see the remains of the ancient village there....interesting to check out the building methods!

I've visited a few historical sights and am quite shocked by the use of cement used to repair parts of the old castles etc which have since caused the stones to deteriote and leave behind nasty cement mortar....a real shame!

Good morning all.

Just a quick post to mention I am currently on holiday until October 15th and will respond to messages upon my return 😊

Part of a job from a few weeks back!

Many areas of the customers beautiful house had been suffering from damp due to use of cement on the exterior and in a few places due to some roof repairs being required.

This wall had cement on the exterior and interior around the wooden beam which had cracked and allowed water ingress which was soaking into the lime plaster which was then painted with an impermeable paint (non breathable)

So I had to knock the plaster off back to the brick and remove the lumps of cement and mix a very hairy lime mix to get the depth filled.

I applied a diluted limewash first mixed with a small amount of linseed oil to stop some of the suction from the bricks and then built this wall up with 3 different layers of lime.

Luckily I had lots of other jobs at the property to allow good drying time between the different layers.

When I return to this property in November I will apply lime wash to this wall between repairing other areas 😊

Good morning!

I thought it was about time to do some posting of recent jobs!

The most recent was repairing this beautiful creamery with lime render and then lime washing it afterwards.....both the render and wash were made by me and were not ready mixed.

Then it was a combination of using an access tower and lift with an operator to reach awkward areas of the lovely house I've been working on including the chimneys which didn't get scaffolded before or where the scaffold actually blocked access.

Now its just a few windows and easier to reach areas to finish up this job 😊

Morning all!

Just a heads up that I am now booking ahead from November for those who wanted to get something in the diary for this year! 😁

Yesterday's 'quick' job turning into more work than expected when the paint started peeling off the plaster due to no mist coat when it was originally painted!

Bit tight on space for this weeks job in a cute little cottage! 😆

I'm back in Bartley this week to finish working on 10 windows requiring scaffolding to access.

They are all in desperate need of a refresh and a bit of TLC including new putty, filling, sanding and primer before the top coat.

Several of the windows had moss growing in a few areas which is an indicator of constant moisture being present which was caused by newer plastic trims being attached to the original windows which has trapped water and prevented the wind from drying the areas out sufficiently.

My current job has been pretty challenging thanks to the weather being baking hot one moment then tipping down with rain the next!

Thankfully I got most of the paint and masonry repairs done last week so I'm currently focusing on the windows which are all in desperate need of repairs and sprucing up.

Fingers crossed for a few dry days or at least not torrential downpours like yesterday!

I started this week off by helping a lovely couple I was working for in December by decorating their newly purchased bungalow to freshen it up.

They had just had a new kitchen fitted and honestly I was quite shocked how the company fitting it never suggested getting the walls skimmed prior to the units being fitted....

The customer called me several weeks back to ask if I'd be able to decorate it but there was a lot of damage to the walls plus old tile adhesive and a multitude of issues that meant a lot of prep work was required.

As I had limited time I gave them the number of another plasterer I recommended so I could just come in and decorate but sadly they went with someone who worked for the kitchen fitters and the results were not good and have taken a lot of work to neaten up.

If I recommend someone its because I know their work is good and therefore will require less time to get to the next stage which usually saves you money!

I've spent a lot of time messing about with the finish of this plaster trying to even it out within the days I'd allocated as it was very lumpy.

I totally appreciate the cupboards being in situe has made life much more difficult but that shouldn't affect the middle of the walls which were worse than the edges!

Anyway, please do try and look at trades previous work and recommendations if you can and if your decorator recommends particular trades people its for good reason ;-)
