Hi,
I am new to this forum and this is my first post. We are about to renovate our house which is an average sized 3 bed semi. One half was built in around 1910 (red brick) and the other half in 1970s (concrete block). It is concrete render all over - the side and back render is in good condition with no cracks whereas the front is pretty bad with a few big cracks, also the older half has a slightly different texture render to the newer half. What would the best solution be for this? We have been pointed in direction of K Rend - can K rend be put onto the old render or does it need removing first? Someone also suggested that we can pull off all loose old render and patch it and skim it. Will this just be a bodge finish?
Can anyone recommend a company or person in the Gloucester/Worcester area? We will also need a plasterer to completely re plaster some walls and skim rest, a couple of ceilings replacing and one floor screeding.
