easipoint romex or gftk are all excellent products
it depends more on whether you are doing it your self or you are getting a competent person in
as i said earlier its a fair job overall,just lacked the coup de grace

I would love to have a go at it myself LLL as it is so inspiring reading this site, but as it will be remedial work I think its best if it gets done properly this time!! am still looking for someone

am thinking easipoint as best option because waterproof and a consistent mix. (plus I read the thread on someone else’s post saying romex stains easily and so doesn’t clean up very well.) I just need to work out the difference in price.

One other thing! I know we’ve already covered this question here and the answer has been – leave the patio by the house as it is - no need to cut away.

But before I found this site I contacted the building dept of my council for their remedial advice. The guy called me at end of play yesterday and recommended doing something similar to ‘The Standard Arrangement’ section half way down on this page

What do you guys think? Still the same view?

Cheers
