Chimney demolition
Chimney Demolition |
34 & 36 Richill Park Belfas BT5 6HG |
6th December 2018 |
Duration = Both Chimneys in 1 Day |
Introduction
First item in our Builders Blog is chimney demolition. This demolition is quite odd as both Chimneys had already been demolished and rebuilt with full Chimney lead trays costing thousands of Pounds. However when they were rebuilt they both had the very same problems & symptoms they had before all the the money.

Summary.
Unfortunately this is yet another unfortunate error of mistaking Moisture & Mildew caused by Condensation/bad ventilation etc for Water ingress was made.
Conclusion
Don’t take the advice of just one Builder. Especially If it’s going to cost a lot of cash. Get a second opinion, preferably from an expert.

Dry Lined Partition Wall
Drylining – Partition Wall
Mercedes Boucher, Belfast BT12 6HU
February 14th 2017
Duration = less than 1 day.
Introduction
This partition is odd as it has neither Thermal or Acoustic insulation and No Fire Rating.
Its only purpose is to stop light coming into the Photographers area were he Photographs the Cars. It only required a very basic single boarding either side and for or effect all the uprights and track were cut off site and Hot mud – “Easifill 20” (which goes off in 20 Minutes) was used. On top of this we used 3 coats normal White emulsion.
Summary
Because the job was relatively small it was deliberately scheduled for one day to show the obvious advantages that dry-lining has over traditional finish etc when surfaces are painted and finished the same day.
Conclusion
Drywall compound is a lot more versatile than Gypsum Plaster.
