  • Can render be patched up with any success? Mine and the upstairs flat are blowing out around the windows and I suspect causing a damp wall at the back of the house. I know the proper thing would be to strip back and re-render, or repoint, but cheapest quote I've had on that so far is 2.3k. I'm only going to be here another couple of years, so loathed to pile that money into something that won't see any return. I think the suspect is the galvanised edgings rusting, so can these be replaced and sealed back into the existing? I'm replacing my rear window anyway so would need to patch up regardless, or completely re-do.

  • I rendered the front of our place last week, the bottom half had crazed from frost cycles, the top half was well stuck so I blended in. The hardest part will be matching the finish, I don't have a clue how the texture on yours was created, maybe that was sprayed on originally.

  • Nice job! I'll have to speak to the plasterers I have quotes from tomorrow, hopefully they can blend in old to new, it's only the rear-most windows and bell-cast that are really bad. No idea on the finish either, it's possibly tyrolean, which could prove problematic.
