Puzzled widow - Rendering
New Member
I need to have my house rendered. It was sprayed with a pebble type paint when I bought the house in 2006. This paint has subsequently cracked in some places on the surface of the paint (underneath looks solid). They even sprayed the soil pipe!
I've tried to research and it appears silicone render, although more expensive is better. Started getting a few quotes and there are a number of silicones, K rend, Jub etc.
Which is better in your opinion and why?
Should every bit of the surface paint be removed prior to rendering?
What questions do I need to ask to ensure they are going to do the job properly?
A small extension at the back of the house has normal render on it and this was done in 2016.
My neighbour has monochouche but this is discoloured in places, and I would prefer to have silicone.
As a widow, I just can't afford to make an expensive mistake, so would be grateful for any advice you feel you can offer please. I won't have the insulation as windows already in place.
Thanks G
