The 2k! Comparing the quality of previous work and going through the quotes of both companies line by line, I didn't see anything that stood out between them other than the price.

I got 3 quotes, the others were between 1 and 2k more. I chose them based on seeing their work in the past. The scaffolding and skips were already here just because we were having a complete re-roof and extension at the same time by the way. cheers!

Ah no way, they had me remove the lead that the builder put there (we built on top of the garage) before they started rendering! whats the reason for the rendered slope being bad, is it just cos it collects dirt?

Thanks again for all the help on this thread. Just had a reply from Johnstones and their tech department reckon... 1. Clean down the surface with a fungicidal was to clean off any contamination on the surface. 2. One coat of Silicone Enhanced Topcoat 1.5mm direct onto the existing clean...

So, here's what they put on the quote and what they did... Remove the existing render Clean and read aid Re render with Johnstones stormshield high performance basecoat One coat with anti crack mesh 2nd coat sponges for flatness Primer coat Finished in enhanced silicone This was to...

Thanks for the replies. Basically I noticed it when the scaffold came down, some spots look fine others, like above the door don't look good at all. So to get this fixed they would need to clean and apply another layer of top coat? Is it that easy? Thanks!

Hi, Last year we got our new extension and remainder of our house re-rendered. However I noticed some uneven patches in the render, its not really the colour, more the texture that is making it stand out, i'm told that its where the render has been to thinly applied(?). The company that did...
