This is a little complicated!
We've just had our L-shaped conservatory knocked down and it's in the process of being replaced by a rectangular conservatory. So, the walls (one of which is the rear wall of the garage) that were once part of the L-shape are now on the outside and exposed to the weather (see photo attached). The door that used to be in the back of the garage is to be re-instated.
It's proved impossible to remove all of the plaster from these walls to expose the original bricks and so it seems the only way forward is to render (or clad) them. The other difficulty is that the lead flashing left behind from the original conservatory roof is also proving difficult to remove (at least the bitumen is). Our next door neighbours house (which is link detached to ours) already has rendered walls on the top half.
I'm totally unsure as to whether I will require Building Regs for rendering these two sections of wall and whether it matters that the render would be higher than the base of our neighbours render (so as to cover where the bitumen remains). Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks.
