Enquirer Message: I am interested in the never paint again exterior treatment. I have a detached bungalow with pebble dash exterior walls. And one side of the house is prone to slight damp building up on interior wardrobes causing mould on clothes. I would like a quote for treating my walls, if this would correct the problem.

Hi, yes this would corerct the problem. Your walls are letting moisture into the house, whcih is what is causing the damp you suffer from. Your exterior house walls need to be repaired and then treated with a resin based exterior wallcoating.

Enquirer Message: We are requiring a non slip surface on to a concrete floor. The problem is that although this surface is walked on at times it forms part of a firing range and so the surface coating has to be \”bullet proof\” (west Yorkshire police)

Dear Sir, thank you for your question. We mainly supply and install exterior wall coatings and therefore we do not supply ballistic floor coatings, good luck, and watch where you point that thing eh?!

Enquirer Message: My daughter\’s flat is in a Victorian house which is suffering from penetrating damp. At the moment the outside walls are rendered and painted but, internally, the paint is peeling and mould is appearing. We have been recommended to use wethertex. How does their product compares to yours? Would your product cure the penetrating damp? Many thanks.

Working with Lime

— Barbara Jones

Lime has been used all over the world as a binding material and as a surface protector of buildings for thousands of years. Here in Europe, lime was used in building for hundreds of years before contemporary cement was invented. However, whereas cement is foolproof (in that any fool can use it), lime requires thought and an understanding of the processes involved in the slow carbonation back to limestone in order to use it successfully. The preparation and practice of lime work is simple, but variables in the materials themselves (the sand, the lime, and particularly in the weather during application and drying time) are crucial to the overall durability of the material.
