    Brilliant job! I am currently repointing my 1870 cottage standard brick construction and in the process of raking out I notice there’s cavities where the mortar should be, nearly half way into the 9” wall in the perps, should I rake in and fill up or just do the inch on top cheers

      Cheers for the props matey!
      You'll find on old brickwork that the peeps can sometimes be a bit shy of mortar on the original construction.
      You'll get away with just doing a finish coat of lime mortar on the perps. There will be air behind the brickwork that can add to the carbonation process once the finish mortar is applied.

    Hi m8
    I've got a 1935 bungalow. I'm renovating and took all the internal lime plaster off ........most of it blown.
    I wanted to replace it all with lime. But got told too expensive. So then opted for gypsum.
    Builders plaster boarded ensuite with plaster board. Dot and dab as resulted in mould on my plasterboard. The property is vacant no heating on so its not helped things that the house is very cold and damp.
    Should I revert back to my original plan and use lime plaster?
    And if so what's the best plasterboard to use before putting lime on? I know concrete boards are more breathable/ waterproof than your normal gypsum plaster board.
    Appreciate your comments m8
    Thank you

      Lime plaster all the way matey. Gypsum locks in moisture that will never come out.

    What sand do you use with the lime guess it’s courser than building sand ,, also are there different colours of sand you use

    • @dportercontracting9974
      @dportercontracting9974  4 месяца назад

      I always use a grit or river sand with my lime mixes. Anything finer than a grit sand will shrink and crack. You can mix building sand with grit but would always opt for a grit sand if available to you.
      There are various colours of sand available to you. Each area will have its own coloured sand depending on the quarry it came from.

    how long do you wait (for the lime to cure) until you're happy to use the stove?

    • @dportercontracting9974
      @dportercontracting9974  2 месяца назад +1

      Great question! I usually advise to leave the finished mortar for at least a week before lighting the stove. A quicker cure, generated by the heat from the stove will cause your mortar to shrink and crack if lit sooner.

    Hi pal after a nice white lime mortar for repointing a wall i have been told that swapping half of my grit sand in the mix with stonedust will work have you ever tried it and would you recommend it cheers

      Just done a job where I added more fine granite dust (literally, just the dust) to the mix (2:1:1 grit sand: Gdust: NHL 3.5) and it cured to a beautiful white colour, yet still showed the grey flecks of the granite under close inspection. I'm hoping to upload the vid in the next few weeks.. I'd definitely repeat the mix again for the aesthetics of the finished article.

      The breakers I use only put out 10J of force so the JCB one would be too powerful for raking out for what I need.

      I had a feeling that might be true, thanks so much for letting me know, I owe you a drink for sure! Trouble is finding a breaker on a budget, wow they're a lot of dolla! Youwere right about the 'back end of March, looks like the 28th is 'go' day according to the 10 day forecast!@@dportercontracting9974

      Do you think a 5 jewel breaker too weak? Part of the work aside from the exterior 30 year old cement removal is old plaster on a brick 'n' dust single brick thick inner wall.
