Hello,
We had our house completely re-plastered in May 2018 as the existing was a non permeable render and had resulted in damp.
Our quote was specified as follows;
“
Now nearly 3 years on the external render is in a terrible state.
We first noticed small patches coming loose approx 1 year later (contacted plasterer, he said he’d sort but never did). This has steadily got much worse. It also appears as if it has never completely dried out.
I have taken photos of the main offending areas, which the plasterer is now blaming on recent bad frosts (it has become much worse since the frosts but was still ongoing so not entirely to blame). There are other areas where if you tap then it sounds hollow.
I would really appreciate a second opinion on what the cause might be so we can source someone more reliable to put it right.
(In Hampshire)
Thank you in advance
