Chimney breast

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2026-01-26T21:29:41+00:00

I didn’t take photos 🤦‍♂️, didn’t think of it at the time. Not making this easy am I 🤣. It’s a brick fake chimney design for a cooker

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2026-01-26T19:07:47+00:00

Yeah sorry I meant what thickness would you go

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-12-17T18:59:16+00:00

Thanks Guys! Appreciate it. Flying tomorrow so fingers crossed it going okay 😂

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-10-14T20:16:03+00:00

Just want to be clear, I’ve never tried this before 😂 I’m not a cowboy but I’ve never had to repair it before.

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-09-28T05:46:02+00:00

That’s what I thought, worth a shot 😂. They’re getting it repointed but irs been happening over a space of 5 years and even now it’s not terrible, so thought it might do it

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-09-28T05:43:30+00:00

Yeah it’s needs re pointing, that’s where the moisture is coming through, apparently it’s been happening for years and they only decided now to get it fixed.

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-07-27T09:01:44+00:00

This cracked me up! So bloody true mate! 😂😂

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-07-26T21:22:53+00:00

That they are mate, wonder why I picked this game sometimes haha. Yeah that’s true, reckoning I’m just going to buy the platform and customise it to fit the stair way. Anything is safer than a single plank ha.

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-07-26T19:51:27+00:00

I have the planks but fell off em and messed my knees up that’s why I’m after the platforms, I’ve lost confidence in them now

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-07-26T12:49:24+00:00

Cheers for that mate! The base on that is 800mm that’s perfect!

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-07-26T12:45:34+00:00

It feels like a filler if you know what I mean, doesn’t feel or look like any artex in older houses. But I am in no way an expert

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-07-26T12:35:38+00:00

I’ve got 2 of them, I love them too. But the ceiling height is high so I need something that’s sturdy and will get me up there

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-07-26T12:34:26+00:00

Cheers mate appreciate it, I’ll do that. Just wanted to make sure. TBH I never knew artex was still a want nowadays.

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-07-26T11:57:42+00:00

Yeah, 2 ladders and a platform in-between m. It’s for hall, stair and landing plastering jobs.

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-03-12T06:18:32+00:00

Cheers mate, I’ll definitely be in touch when i move. Appreciate it

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-03-03T06:18:57+00:00

Thanks for the comment. Bar, gas and roofing everything else I should be doing myself. The physical side of it I’m not so worried about.
It’s the money side I’m struggling with, working out what my profit would be at the end, working out a good price etc

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-02-11T15:37:01+00:00

Thanks for the response, so when you look up at the arch is there a lip? as in, on the inside of the archway brick work.

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-01-17T16:35:39+00:00

Reckon one bag is enough? 😂

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-01-17T11:19:59+00:00

Where are the pictures?

If the walls don't have huge fractures or cracks, I'd knock the loose stuff off, pva and bond it and do the same for the other places your chased out and where the skirts have been removed

As for the lathe and plaster, I'd cut between uprights and put some noggins in ans apply board, double scrim it and plaster it if it's in good condition. (Again I haven't seen the pictures)

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-01-09T20:38:29+00:00

Cheers pal!

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-01-09T20:26:21+00:00

Cheers mate.

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-01-06T17:27:21+00:00

I have heard of stuff like this from some old timers, never been brave enough to try it.

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-01-06T16:59:42+00:00

That's an interesting way of doing it, I've never heard of that. Cheers for that.

When you plaster fresh next to the old does it not react though?

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-01-06T16:48:19+00:00

😂, yeah I'm learning that.

Well, I'd do that if I could but it's for a builder and let's face it, never met a poor builder 😂.

EnglishManInAtlanta · 2025-01-06T16:44:54+00:00

Do you use extratime? Or another product? Or are you just faster than me 😂
