Hi,
I am hoping you may be able to advise me on a problem I am having with my builder and a render finish.
To give you a background of the job in hand. I employed a builder to completely remove all the old render which encased our house. He did a super job, hacked everything off to bare bricks, made good and defective areas, then completely sand / cemented the walls, treated them, & then began to apply cullamix Tyrolean render finish. The tyrolean was applied over 3 walls , but around the window frames and the bottom of the wall, was more or less left bare, i guess to be finished off later.
Unfortunately due to his falling sick, a couple of months elapsed between the majority of the tyrolean being applied and that which was needed to finish the job. Not only this, but the texture of the finish is much thicker in some areas than others. Apparently a defective applicator gun was used on part of the wall and now it resembles lemon drizzle cake. Can this be gone over with a finer application to make the finish more uniform?
By nature i am reasonably easy going and not a nit-picker, but I am wondering how we can best achieve a satisfactory finish to the rendering, so that it all matches up.
I have a feeling you may say to get an A! finish that the whole thing ought to be redone from the start, but i really want to avoid this.
I am asking you what you feel ought to be done to best solve the situation faced.
With regards to the photos (see link:

showing large globular, cottage cheese type texture, which is inconsistent to the acceptable areas, what could be done to correct this to make it uniform. My builder suggests going over the areas concerned with a finer texture.....would you consider this a solution? I can supply more images which may better illustrate the "drizzle" effect should anyone be interested.
I really, really would apprciate any advice as to what methods ought to be considered and moreover avoided (preventing making matters worse) in rectifying this problem.
