Hi all,
In need of some advice, we finished our double storey extension and refurb project end of last year and moved in December. The render, sand and cement, was done in November and is frankly shocking, 3/4 of it was done before the builder sacked off the plasterer and got someone decent to finish the rest, sadly the most notable bits are frankly awful, we had some k rend specialists come to quote and they said it was one of the worst jobs they had seen...... I'm far from an expert but I'm not happy. The builder is a friend and the house is amazing, it's awkward as i don't want to fall out with him so we have agreed between us to fix but there is still a cost implication and after such a big project money is very tight, so I need your advice on options.
The sand and cement was scratch coated then top coated but the finish is as above. Awful. I need a solution that will get it looking lovely and smooth and the best I can come up with is k rend over the top, ideally I don't want to paint it now hence k rendor mono etc seems sensible, however the guy I had round said they needed to still mesh and base coat then top coat and it would be six grand. So what are your opinions for how to resolve it? Is there a product that can one coat over the top. Any suggestions welcome as I'm desperate to get it sorted
Thanks
Luke
