    Am maybe gonna get all technical on you but you get to learn these important things in your 3 years. Bricks on top of each is no good, not very strong 1 brick on top of 2 is much better Still a piece of piss though

    Had to round the house to check, but the first course of brickwork above the ground (all block paving btw), is old, the repairs are above that. Which to my mind rules out underpinng, but thats an area of building I have never experienced. Can I just say here, I am a bricklayer, and at what I do...

    What is this?

    Lol Seriously I had hoped I would get some good advice, best product's, best methods, full hack off and renew etc or whether something else can be done. Which would have given me a good idea of cost. Ultimately now I will probably see more renderers than I need to, get more different...

    Let's face it not like I have lost out with a narky reply, I wasn't getting any advice any which way. I will just do this the way you guys like in person, someone will get the job but most will waste their time and diesel. Sure you guys enjoy wasting your time.

    There may have been a small amount of movement in the past (house is 90) but nothing recently and nothing since it was (overskimmed) if that's what you guys would call it. None of the cracks are opening, or shifting in orientation, or opening unevenly, but all windows have cracks running out...

    What is this?

    Thank you. OK so what hasn't been done properly or what is likely to have been done wrong to cause the problems? I should say this was done maybe 5-10 years before I moved in 10 years back. And its always looked bad And what is the best way forward to get a good finish?

    What is this?

    what is the thin coating over what i assume is original sand cement render (30s semi), its very thin, less than 1mm , appears to be uniformed white, assuming you guys tell me what my guess is, why is not adhered? And cracking everywhere

    Rendering advice please

    I never said I wall in straight lines, just see My point being, if a product is tricky to apply flat I would prefer a different product which is perhaps easier for a plasterer to achieve a good result

    Rendering advice please

    I am after some advice please. I have a 30s semi, and the render is mess. I think its original but has possibly been re coated at some point. In some small places like window reveals it has come off, but its heavily cracked and some water penetrates it. There is a large 2 story extention on...
