OK to put external render over cables?

[drmrbrewer]

Am thinking about ways of getting some coax TV cables from a new building across to an existing building. One way would be to run the cables down the exterior of the new building, which is anyway being rendered (K-Rend), so the cables would be hidden.

But is it asking for trouble putting render over cables? Does it potentially weaken the render at that point?

Thanks.

I'd say that you might want to think about running the cables through some form of conduit or piping as the rendering may damage the outer casing of the cables. Also if there are any problems with the cables, or you need to upgrade or renew them at some point in the future you need to damage your rendering...
