rendering advice please

[lollol81]

Hi I have a friend who has had some rendering done on his house over existing and some blown areas removed where needed. Can someone please advise on quality, I think it's pretty poor.

Thanks in advance

What is it supposed to be Tyrolean?

Hi and welcome, post some pics once its finished..top coated scaffold down etc..
Usual questions will be.. How much was paid? How did your friend come about the firm that done it?
What material used?
And was there tea and biscuits aplenty

Haha should the top coat be finished in one go or several coats over the scratch coat

It’s missing a coat. They might bring it back in winter when it’s cold.

It isnt finished and being tyrolean it can be rescued easily.

But if there was no tea and biscuits then they might have pulled off in disgust!

Basically he got quote to remove blown render where necessary then use a rough finish texture all over. basically he is finished bar a little bit round porch apparently. So to me this is not finished anything from pics you could advise.

Thanks again

Robbed.

Ok basically from what you see ive not been over the top telling him it is shite then.

And there is nothing you can see that you can defend the plasterer with.

Thanks for your help

@lollol81 I would guess that the 'plasterer' has quoted/intended to give a sort of cheap Tyrolean finish, but unfortunately doesn't have a clue as to how this is supposed to be achieved. He will know full well that the finish is unacceptable, definitely. Undefendable.

Hi thanks for the opinion. Feel for the people who have had done.

Just wanted to make sure I wasn't being ott with the workmanship but looks like nothing to defend the guy with.

So has the bill.been paid?

 

[lollol81]

yes bar £200

 

[lollol81]

I didn't even mention the state of windows/ downpipes etc

 

[Fatarm]

yes bar £200

 

[Spray]

Wow ! I can only say it’s so important to look at previous jobs your renderers have done!!!! As this guy has never rendered before

 

[Mouldyoldspudgun]

He certainly didn’t have a clue when it comes to tyrolean which is what he was trying to achieve, I get the make your own kick as we do the same but it he seems to think it’s done in the same way as rough cast. There should have been a flat base coat for the tyrolean not a scratch coat. He could try telling them to come back as it can be done off a ladder if the scaffold has gone but to be honest I think they won’t. It could be covered with a few more coats of Tyrolean so all is not completely lost just find an older spread who was around in the seventies and eighties he should know what to do

Past shocking that, very unscrupulous to carry out work like that. Need to be held to account
