Morning all,
I have some 'professionally' rendered walls in my garden. They are crumbling, paint is flaking off (proper masonry paint) and I fear I need to hack off the render and redo.
1) Or is there an easy way to patch the render that is flaking - keeping in mind that it is a smooth flat finish...
2) I am wanting to know what causes the render to be so crumbly - is this a bad mixture, not enough cement?
3) Also with regards to the painting, the paint has flaked off - I heard I should apply a watered down coat onto the render (once dried) to allow it to 'key' before applying the full coats... is this accurate?
Cheers!
