:-0 I thought I would give my 10pence worth of opinion to this delicate subject and open myself up to a little bit of abuse. :rolleyes)
We all know that since the recession domestic rendering has become more competitive and people are totally unaware of the cost implications of hack off and re-render. I think we would all agree that, just with internals, the best route is hack off and treat as new. Yet a lot of us make a chunk of our income from overskims and making good.
Which leads us to the touchy subject of rendering over paint. The general principal is that the bond is only as good as that between the paint and the wall. Hacking off can sometimes cause more damage than good , especially around windows. I must have priced 10 decent hack off jobs last year that I see now still havent been done because the client didnt realise the cost of skips, hacking, bonding etc made it quite a costly job.
I went to look at a job I rendered over paint nearly 10 years ago (I know thats not long in rendering terms) and it is still solid and looks a quality finish. I still use the same process today and never have any comebacks.
This is how we saw the job, the render was solid and I thought hacking off that pillar between the windows would open a can of worms
No loose paint so chipped away with the back of my axe hammer to make sure then with a roller applied SBR slurry leaving a stipple
As the SBR Darkens and begins to set scratch with a tight coat. Must go on wet on wet.
A week later topcoat as normal
Going back in a couple of weeks to price up some more work, will take some pics of the final finish.
