we are up in liverpool so not too close i'm afraid. we had someone perform a heritage survay on the house he said the current render was cement. He said other than the rubbish render the house was actually coping with damp quite well and that simply removing the cement would fix the issues we...

it looks like the grass goes up to the building, but there is a small gap with concrete and we are getting rid of those beds anyway very shortly. The whole gable end is concreted at the base/floor as it's the driveway.

here we go

ooh that sounds like what we have already, ok so i have a name for it now, but i'm pretty sure it's not currently Lime.

we don't think the basement has ever been tanked, the walls are bare blocks for the most part and they dont appear to have any coating on them there is concrete all around the house so no issues of earth or flowerbeds.

we've been trying but we keep getting different opinions and we can't seem to find some solid advice we can rely on :( we arn't builders so we are relying on getting people in. Every rendering company we speak to seems to have a different opinion and each insist they know best. Honestly at...

Does that mean we can/should render to ground level?

yeah i was reading about DPC but i can't figure out for the life of me if we have one haha .... i suspect we dont, but there is a layer of the house that's 'different' to the rest .. The top portion of the house is solid brick (double bricks) but the basement and this 4ft band around the base...

Hi there, We have an old Victorian house with a basement. As such the internal floor level of the main house is 4ft above the street level. We have been getting quotes for rendering the building, some have suggested rendering to the floor while others say that you shouldn't render below...

Can also anyone tell me the difference between Weatherby and KRend? i've been quoted for both but i'm not sure what the difference is or is there no difference and it's just a brand name?

Have rendering prices gone up in the past 5 years? We got some quotes about 3years ago and they where around the 15-20k mark for Modern Renders (although granted i didn't really think much of the 15k one he seemed a bit of a cowboy) in the end we had to put the whole project on hold because...

we are in liverpool and looking for recommendations/quotes.

here's some pictures.... We've had quotes for things like Krend in the 15-20k region, but then all the quotes for Lime where in the 30-40k region. I really don't want to put the wrong thing on my house but we have a lot of external work (replacing windows, guttering, facias and soffits and i...

Title says it all really? I've been told by a specialist that i need lime render on my victorian town house but i can't get a quote that is anything in the realm of affordable. All £30k plus .. Its a big house but there is no way i can afford anything in that region. It's currently...

Hi there, I need to get a solid brick victorian townhouse rendered. It's double thick solid brick with a basement designed to regulate damp. About 40 years ago it was rendered with Cement and as such has had various damp problems because the render has been trapping the moisture inside the...
