Packing over steel. Are there new rules?
Packing over steel. Are there new rules?
A friend's had a quote from a builder to fit an rsj. The builder said you now can only dry pack with slate above the steel. My friend said do you mean you don't use any mortar, just slate? The builder said yes.
Is it possible there's a misunderstanding and when he says dry pack the builder is referring to a dry mix with slate? He also said you can't use steel Shims anymore. Apparently it's a new building reg.
