When they do a roughcast render Edinburgh tradesmen may also refer to it as ‘wet-dash’, though in Scotland the term you are more likely to here is ‘harling’. This is a roughcast render Edinburgh teams use that to create a coarse finishing coat containing gravel thrown in a premixed state onto a wall.

This kind of render is very distinct from pebble dash, or ‘dry dash’, in which the aggregate is applied separately onto wet plaster. Historically, when roughcasting Edinburgh workmen used this for rural buildings, where it was popular across much of the UK, except the south-eastern half of England. It was also sometimes employed for high status Arts and Crafts buildings too.

When compared to smooth render, this roughcast render is particularly advantageous in exposed areas as it has a heavy texture that creates a larger surface area, a roughcast render Edinburgh tradesmen use a lot as it aids and helps with moisture absorption and evaporation.

Additionally, the application method allows use of a mortar mix less prone to shrinkage while curing.

Before applying new roughcast Edinburgh roughcasters will always remove detached render beyond saving. When loose edges repeatedly dampened become sufficiently pliable to resecure with lime slurry grout (and, if needed, screws and washers); the new roughcast render finishing coat is ‘feathered’ over the reattached edges. It is unnecessary, in most cases, to rake out mortar joints, and always inadvisable to hack masonry faces, to provide a key for new roughcast.
When it comes to roughcasting Edinburgh roughcasters know that several thin coats are better than one thick one.

The underlying coat(s), as well as the finishing coat, may be roughcast, rather than laid on smooth, if preferred. Roughcast can be machine-applied but hand-casting is as quick for an average-sized house. One method is to throw the mix ‘backhand’ from a casting (‘dashing’) float or cut-down coal shovel.

When you are planning a home renovation or home remodelling project, one step that may get lost amid all the tempting ideas and clever remodeling tips involves a very practical question: How will you store your stuff while it’s happening, and do you need to find a storage company in London?  

Doing a major renovation job or full scale refurbishment of your home means you have many of the same issues that you would have if you were actually moving, such as needing a storage service and long term storage in London for the duration of the work. 

From moving things from one room to another, having to keep things outside and exposed to the weather, and the general inconvenience of stuff lying around your home while work is going on, it makes sense to use a moving storage London facility and to find a storage company in London that offers flexible storage and cost options. Here are a few things to consider when selecting your storage company needs.

 

RENT A PORTABLE CONTAINER

As a storage company in London we offer portable storage options and for some people, it is a great solution, especially for customers who  don’t have a garage, an extra room, or a friend who can help. With this kind of storage service London clients get a container delivered to their door, which they can then fill and have driven to a secure removal storage London location. We are one of the storage companies London clients use when they want this 8-foot container, which is perfect for storing a room or two of stuff.

 

USE SELF-STORAGE

If you are planning to have a new boiler installation or boiler replacement, perhaps as part of a home renovation project or because your old heating system is simply getting old, you may be wondering about when the best time is to have that boiler replacement done. As boilers do not always stop working when you decide it is time to get a new boiler replacement, a boiler installation is not always easy to arrange in terms of when it is genuinely needed.

If you do decide to plan for a boiler replacement and boiler installation, it may be worth thinking about when would be the most convenient time for you, as a new boiler replacement and boiler installation can usually cause some minor disruption within your home, so think about how to plan this at your convenience. 

So the real question is – Is there a better time of year to have a new boiler replacement?

 During the time when you are having a boiler installation,  you will be unable to access heat or hot water for the time the work is being done. For this reason, many homeowners decide that they want a boiler installation done during the summer months, when they do not require heat or hot water as much as they do during the colder months. 

Put simply, doing a boiler installation during summer is generally thought to be less disruptive as you can cope better without heat for a day or two, something not advised in winter. 

For many people, however,a new boiler installation is done out of necessity, when a boiler breaks down or starts to become old and unreliable. If this does occur in winter, getting a boiler replacement  as soon as possible is the best advice we can give.
