It's just cement that's been formed to look like stone. Hack it all off its brick underneath.

We float and sponge k-rend k1. Rubs up lovely if you catch it right just keep water off it and the colour stays uniform.

If you need advice on prepping for render you shouldn't be doing the job.

What product is that? It looks like lime render with formed corners. Was the house stone originally? If they've done that over block that's wild unless you wanted it not to look modern and wanted a cottage look? It's a strange one

Never seen a properly seemeless thincoat patch. Some much better than others but it's never 100%.

I suggest you tell the builders who got this joker in not to use him again he is not a renderer.

Obviously the rendagrip manufacturer won't stand by going over painted substrates there's too many variables and you'd have clowns trying to sue them after rendering over flaking paint. Grind, wire brush, jet wash and whatever paint is still on the wall rendagrip over that.

That's shocking.

It's a b*****d for sure but it's a hand finish it's never 100% perfect in glancing sunlight.

What a miserable b*****d. There's plenty of Plasterers out there who struggle with polymer basecoats so you my friend have no chance.

Last 16 of Europa league again. Not too shabby for coming from a micky mouse league! Let's go

Stevie will want a crack at champions league with us he won't be considered for Liverpool gig for a few years.

What team do you support big shot

You OK Stuart?

Jewson I use

Pre-bagged enewall £5.30

Its a new craze mostly for younger people to show off their new build shite house they overpaid for.

Not excusing that work as it does look particularly bad BUT these lights are a joke. Some downlights don't effect the look of the render if they're out a few inches more on the soffit but these f**k**s are too close to the wall. Shine a bright light directly down substrate internally or...

Cowboy

Insufficient overhang. Not your problem.

This dump is looking more like barlinnie prison by the day with the celtic board erecting fencing around the parimeter to stop the animals getting to the players and coaches. Best fans in the world my arse. 10 is gone

K-rend silicone wet dash is superb. Takes a bit of getting used to right enough mix it too stiff and it looks horrendous

Hes still crying in to his celic scarf

Brilliant

They are a pain in the arse from start to finish we try and price ourselves out of them last one I done was £1400. Was gutted when he said when can you start!

Feel sorry for the builder. You're on here behind his back asking what its like, why not chat with the builder about it?

not sure how he's managed that mess but he ain't no professional thats for sure. Do not pay for that crap.

Suppliers would sell you 50mm beads if they could get away with it. We use the smallest bead we can get away with, less work, less material.

No doubt it will be double the price of similar products by other companies, such is the parex way...

It is worth it to some people, not to others. Keep your prices high and your work perfect and you won't have any pressure. Its definitely not for everyone I know guys out busting their balls for beer/coke money and wonder why they don't have a pot to piss in. Like most things in life you need...

Definitely separation cracks. On too thick in 1 pass maybe

Mugs game handballing that s**t. Can't stand it

the stones we get come in 25kg bags already washed we just load the scaffold with them.

People often think of dash as that horrible brown stuff you get on 70s houses but the new systems and colours are actually quite nice when done properly.

Glasgow pal dry dash is very popular here for its longevity.

You're right I've not a got a clue about dashing. Only do between 2 and 4 houses per month as well as countless other bits and bobs.

£1900 lol

Freeflow, wet the background too. Stones dont need to be wet that's b*ll***s.

£1000 should cover all bases.

We do loads of these for insurance companies. £2000 all day.

Complaining about your phone going for work..f**k me I've heard it all now. First world problems!

How did this story end?

Looks quite close to weber ivory. I rendered my utility room last year using it I'll upload a photo to compare

We use a fair bit of parinter, might give this a try.

Huntington beige or harvest

That little notched out drip on the cope is where the water pools and drops from. Ideally you want that a few inches out from the render. 90% jobs I go to the coping are too narrow.

bad scratch coat and insufficient overhang. The fact you’re asking if you can do It yourself and stating it doesn’t have to be perfect tells me you’ll be wasting some renderers time soon requiring a free quotation which will invariably be too expensive.

They will say it's been stored damp. Has it?
