sorry but why does it all have to be redone... and not just part of it..

is it all no good just because the down pipe is crap

excess water washes away the cement.

ok thanks

I'd have a word with simeonocrete, he would have some gear to overlay that, save ripping it up.

[Pablo]

Chances are it'll be much cheaper to do new concrete than overlay with a resin product a true chancer would've thrown some surface retardant on it and gone for an exposed aggregate finish.

[msh paving]

Ripped it up, looked a mess every gutter downpipe ran over on it, plumber who installed it is getting a you know what from the client









Pouring Wednesday pix will follow MSH
