I will - will post a photo!

I think you're right! Thanks everyone.

Thanks, but I think "a good match" is the best I will do then, as I don't want to spend out on the whole wall (and certainly not do that myself). Is it even worth me attempting this patch, or should I get someone in instead? Any idea what sort of cost I might be looking at? Thanks.

I have an area of breeze block (blocked up window) that needs a Tyrolean render. Is there any special kind of finish/preparation I need to do and how easy might it be to match the new render in with a surrounding area? I'm a novice renderer and a woman, so don't know if this is going to...
