I thought these were made of pre cast concrete blocks with a pebble dash on the outer surface. Are we talking about the same thing ? If so, why do you want to render on that ?

airey house
Why do you want to render it, we have one and are debating bricking it up to increase value and morgagability. How much do you know about the construction of Airey houses and the reason for them being on the 'defective dwelling' list, we have found getting info difficult but have got some from the council at last

we have an Airey which we purchased years ago and the council gave a notice that it was defective but the problem had been overcome by works that they did. we now realise that the work they did did not make it a non defective property and are trying to decided what to do with it and how much investment we should make in it. It was ring beamed years ago by the council as the concrete column bottoms were cracking. am i right in thinking that this might just delay the problems in the concrete columns but not fix it. we have also noticed cracking in one of the window mullions. any info would be great as if we decided to brick this house up it will cost thousands of pounds

if you want a mortgage on this house then the coloumns need to be removed and then bricked up, this needs to be done under a licence eg Adam s Consulting engineers from mold

I have found finding info on airey houses hard. I would like to say i've found a new forum just set up it's well worth a visit hope this helps. www.aireyhouse.your-talk.com
i work on the Airey house all the time if you need to know anything then let me know
I have recently bought my airey construction house.It was repaired/modernised around 10yr ago.They replaced the concrete columns with a steel frame.This is apparently structually sound for at least the next 30 yr.However, very recently cracks have started to appear in the plaster boards,seemingly at the joins(im guessing)I have 2 cracks from wall to wall on the ceiling,in a straight line.A few around door caseings,and on walls again, all straight lines.I also have about 5 around the windows (on the wall)at the bottom corners.These seem to have appeared during the cold weather,although I did have 1 around 2 yr ago.
Can anybody help?are these cracks anything to worry about?
hi I just wondered if you have actually got around to bricking up your house?Im in the same position and considering my options.
Distressed lady; sorry I can't help with your problem but can I point out your actually posting on a thread from 2006 & on which the last post was nearly a year ago ! I know it can be difficult spotting the dates if you’re new to the forum but if you start a new thread of your own you will probably have a better response.
