No worries. If you know of anyone else in the area who might be interested in doing the report then please let me know. I'm not actually in any rush for the actual work to be done so long as it gets done properly so if you wanted to queue it up for July/August that wouldn't be an issue.

Anyone in the Paisley area willing to put together a rendering report for me in the next few weeks (and potentially quote for doing the job properly once the weather improves)? @Casper your name was mentioned as being the go to person in Scotland, however I'm not sure where you are based or if...

Wow - I'm guessing those jobs ain't cheap! :D

Yeah I did say I wasn't in a rush to get it done, however seemingly they wanted to push ahead and get it done as October had been quite mild - sadly I made the mistake of thinking they knew what they were doing and didn't really challenge them at the time. I'm going to wait until April/May to...

Thanks. Yeah I stopped them after the first wall due to the mess, damage and number of things that seemed to have been done incorrectly so it's basically just that one upper part of the wall that they did. As they seemed to be either negligent and/or incompetent on so many levels it didn't seem...

So I recently hired a builder to fully re-render my house with roughcast with the following conditions: The work should be done properly as it was intended to be done once and last 30+ years (i.e. removal of all cracked/bossed render, no corner cutting - this was a higher end quote in excess of...
