Hi, a chunk of concrete has fallen off my Mums outhouse porch ceiling. The hole is about 40mm at the deepest point.
How do I go about preparing this for render?
Do I need to put something on the rusty rebar and will a bonding agent be required?
Also can I build up render in successive coats to that thickness or will it just come crashing down at a later date?

Thanks,
Peter
 
Welcome.... that looks like it is getting very wet....

Where abouts in the old are you?

I'm in Newcastle. The house was built in the 1930s and I think over the years the rainwater has made its way through the concrete causing the rebar to rust.
 
There's a product I used years back called bellzona (I think) like a lightweight putty. Stuck like shite to a blanket.
