4 signs your home needs a fresh coat of paint plus the 2 major benefits you’ll get from it
Updating your home’s paint might seem like quite the project, but it will be worth it.
Waterproofing to the balcony: Aluminum doors will be removed to the balcony Aluminum doors and frames will be wrapped in bubble wrap and stored in the garage for safekeeping until re-installation. All cement and waterproofing layers will be chopped up and removed off-site from the balcony. Rubble skip will be on-site and removed once it is filled. All existing waterproofing will be removed. mm Turn-ups will be chopped off in order to apply the waterproofing application onto the bricks. Existing outlets will be removed. New 63mm Flange outlets will be fitted to the parapet walls to allow water to discharge outside of the balcony. Screed-to-fall will be done to ensure water runs out of the outlets, and that there will be no water ponding in any areas. 50x75mm Angle will be fitted where the door will be fitted to prevent water from running back into the rooms. The waterproofing application will consist of the following: x2 Coats of Mapei-Lastic Mapei-tape to all turn-ups and corners and into the cavities. Mapei-net the flat surface x1 coat will be applied, followed by the Mapei-net and Mapei-tape being applied on top of the 1st coat. 2nd coat will be applied over all of the above-mentioned after 24 hours. Aluminum doors and frames will be re-fitted. Turn-ups and bands around the frames will be plastered to a smooth finish. Waterproofing application and plaster will be left for x3 days before the painting and tiling can commence. New tiles will be installed.

Please I would like to have a quotation of a building that has a floor and ceiling that is damaged because of an air handling unit that is placed on top of timber floor. The ceiling below that floor is also affected. Please I would like to have the following in the quotation: 1. An investigation on the cause and extend of the water damage on the floor/ceiling. 2. On top of the timber floor there is a torch-on waterproof. What is the rate of the waterproof when it is removed and when it is replaced with new. Thank you. Kind regards,
1 Main bedroom (3 walls and 1 wall with window). 3 standard bedrooms (2 walls, 1 wall with window and 1 with wardrobes). Passage both sides. Living room (3 walls and one with sliding door). Reception room (3 walls and one with double window). Dining room (3 walls and 1 with window). Study room the size of a single garage (3 walls and 1 with window). Ceilings fir all those rooms. Ceiling needs some fixing. I need an estimate quote. Most of the walls are currently Grey and need to paint them cream or a homely color. Need quote to include the cost of the paint.
Good day, I trust you are well, Please refer to the attached. Can you please send me one quote on standard glass and one quote on standard double glazing. The Aluminum should be matte charcoal aluminum and where I indicated on the sheet, there should be burglar bar added. Please note that there have been some changes made to the plan. The correct product is indicated on the spread sheet. (you can only refer to the list when doing the quotes). D03 – is a door with no windows. D06 & D07 – the door doesn’t have the aluminum slides on the bottom anymore, it should be glass. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.
The basement is humid and is smelling musty, the walls are flaking in one of the rooms. In winter, cold air seeps through into the ground floor because of the wooden flooring and the spacing between the floor boards. I want a cost effective, economical and durable solution like a fibre seal for walls and underflooring.
I have an old wooden floor in a room upstairs, for some years it was carpeted and we left it alone because no one was living upstairs. My daughter has now moved into the upstairs room and we need to get the wooden flooring fixed or replaced as it is making quite a noise. The dimensions of the room is roundabout 8x6.
I have a flat concrete slab roof. I need to replace the current torch on as it is leaking when it rains heavily and causing damp through out the building. The roof portion that needs sealing is over sqm, but I don't know the exact number off hand. I will need to go there later or tomorrow and walk off the measurement. I would like this sooner rather than later, but am a little flexible. I attempted a short term fix as I wanted to build on the roof, but it looks like I will have to wait on that now and just repair the roof. See attached pictures.
Repairs of aged/damaged water proofing on small sections of the roof showing signs of water damage and cracks. Cleaning of existing waterproofing membranes on the rest of the roof and replacing damaged pieces with overcoat and torching. Application of 2x overcoat matching the existing colour of the house.
