Help with plastering problem
Comments (19)Thank you for your comments. The article you posted was really interesting and pretty much sums up what is going on with the house. The downstairs floor are concrete and blackjacked as they have obviously taken up the flags, They are also uneven so will have to get taken up to level out. I'm hoping there isn't 10 inches of concrete but even so it's going to be difficult to take out. This has pushed water into the walls, so they then blackjacked the bottoms of those and this has pushed the water higher. If only any of this was present when I bought the house I won't have bought it. The builder they recommended that had done all the works was supposed to be a member of the Federation of Master Builders, but I remember looking him up when problems first started arising and he wasn't listed. We have started stripped all the plaster from the external wall and the room is starting to get drier already. The walls are no longer sweating. I'm trying to work out what is under the blackjack. It doesn't look like plaster and I'm wondering it they have put some sort of cement based render on the stonework. Either way it's all going to have to be done correctly now.

Comments (9)Hi Georgie, this is what my step son in law Gary says: “I think there is a lot of light issues here. They look like two different shades of quartz but I don’t think they are. The issue is if you are not happy with the joint it means it is a bad joint. If it was done correctly it would be a butt joint with a max 1mm joint. This clearly is more than that. The resin used in the joint has mixed with the dust from the top and looks dirty. The only way forward is to cut the top of the joint with a grinder and refill with clean resin, remove the top and redo the edge. Hope this helps.” There’s nothing about stone that Gary doesn’t know, so I would trust his opinion. His business is Apex Grange and he has a base in Welwyn Garden City, Herts and in Kent if you want to check out his credentials. I so hope you can get this sorted....See MoreFitting a wooden breakfast bar onto granite without a leg for support
Comments (2)I was told to drill large bolts from underneath and also bond it with glue. I decided that people would probably lean on it and it might not last and end up looking awful. Also if I ever removed it I would be left with holes in the worktop so opted for the granite to extended over the end to make a breakfast bar instead. It works better because I get a larger island top to work on....See MoreDekton - edging of waterfall and seams
Comments (3)Hi Sonlane, The miter joint is usually more pricey, if it fits your budget you should be ok doing it. Otherwise, choosing a non-mitered edge brings the quote down. If you choose this option then go for a drop down that doesn't look like a continuation of the pattern. The filler for the joint should be one approved by Consentino to be used on Dekton, if it is approved and who is fitting the worktop is experienced, you shouldn't have problem with water and cleaning. If you are worried, try to get the brand they'll be using so you can check if it is approved by the brand. But if you check their manual here, they give directions and suggestions. Basically they say " Mastic or silicon can be used as an adhesive, due to the rigidity, minimal expansion and excellent dimensional stability (straightness, squareness, bending, warping) of Dekton material." And these are resistant to water and cleaning. Hope that helped... :) Good luck with your project, Schmdit Kitchens Dorking Team...See MoreAreewan Suravetsunthorn
