It's been years since I have had to make some and I always use ready mix from the merchants.

How do I do it again? Is it white sand and cement?
 
Snowcrete and white sand if its very light snowcrete and ordinary sand if a bit darker
 
Put a scoop of lime in the mix, it drys the same colour as the mortar used on victorian aged buildings.
 
It's times like this that I miss my old apprentice who was an apprentice brickie before he worked out how boring it was. He used to do all the patching up and just got what he needed.

Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks
