I have had a proper look at the patch this morning and i've taken a couple of pictures. This is now after 4 days. Can this be repaired without having to do the whole bay again, so there is no difference in the colour?

Thanks for the reply Micilin I will take a photo tomorrow morning and add it to this thread. So would he need to remove all the render off the 3 sides of the bay, or could he just go over the top with a fresh coat and then once hard enough, go over it with the spike float, so the colour...

finally found a render quoting a decent price. this came in at £3,200 Everything was going well until the last few days. I chose to go with the "Wetherby" mono render and have been really impressed by how it all looks. One slight problem, the guy reckons the ladder slipped by a gust of wind and...

once again spongebob1, thanks for all your advice! it's going to come in real handy, when I start seeing the random prices there going to give me!

Thanks for the advice spongbob1, it gives me a bit to think about. Which mono render is the best one to one to go with in your opinion? i've heard weber is a good mono render? but can be expensive.

i'm in the Northwest,in Liverpool. The first quote I received, did include scaffolding, but only taking off the top layer of pebble-dash. I also need the window bay walls putting back to a rendered finish, as I had it tiled a few years ago, by cowboys! Looked fine from outside, but they somehow...

nice one spongebob! i've tried plastering but I think i'll leave it to the experts. Still waiting on a few more quotes, so as soon as I get them all in, I'll let you know how I got on. A mate of mine was quoted £3 grand for a 4 bed semi, which is a lot larger than my property. So this is...

Thanks for posting Elisa123. I'll get a few more quotes in and then see what the difference in price is. Shouldn't they be going back to the bare brick though? that's what is also given me doubt's about them. I know its a pain to remove all the old render, and I would remove it myself but...

The guy called me back today with the quote. He quoted £4650 to do the job. I roughly worked out that its around 55 sq meter, and the price is for taken off the top layer of render and not going right down to the brick and for also removing the bellcasts. I know this is the first quote but this...

Hi, I am currently looking at getting my house, a 3 bed semi-detached house rendered. The house was built in the 1930's and is brick up to the bay window and then pebble dashed up to the roof. I'm currently looking at getting "Wetherby" render or K-rend, from what I've seen they have a...

Hi I have a 3yr old Daewoo Fridge/freezer, which has been working fine until recently. The model has a feature called multiflow, so when you opened the fridge door or freezer door, you could see the cool air pouring in through the vents, suppose to keep food fresher for longer. Foods are...

thanks for the replies.lol ! When the door is left open i still get condensation on the bedroom window and also on the box bedroom window. I know the problem is ventiliation, so would the windows on fresh air not be enough? condensation happens with the windows on fresh air, the box room also...

I've had this a problem for a while now, every morning we wake up during winter to find condensation on the front bedroom bay window, we do also get condensation on the front box bedroom as well. We have the central heating on until around 10pm, windows left open/closed, tried everything! I did...

Hi Thermo Thanks for the advice, really appreciated!

Hi thermo Its blue in the container, but it eventually dry a green colour. The decking was already treated when i purchased it, but the decking is more of a pine colour, so after this preserver went on it does stand out quite a bit now. Its been just under a week since i did it, but i...

Hi I have recently build a raised garden deck and everything had gone as expected. All that was left to do was before I sealed the decking, was to put some end grain preserver on the cut ends of the decking. I have since done this, but I now have several dark stains on the decking which are...

Hi i have a worcester Bosch 240 combi and after its been turned on running a couple of hrs the pressure is constantly rising to over 3mb. I have drained off the radiator to get the pressure back down to 1mb, but again the same thing still happens. Is this is due to the expansion vessel, if so...

the builder never checked the floor heights in the kitchen or the height from the dining room. So i think it was more guess work on his half. The plan was showing a gap for the screed to be lay at 75mm so If it needs to be screeded then thats what i will get done. but for me to keep the step...

I have recently had a new extension fitted, however were the extension meets the existing dining room and original kitchen the floor is out by 3 inch's. We were thinking of now having a step down into this new room from the dining room and the kitchen. The floor at present is currently up to the...

How easy would it be to move a 3 gang switch from one end of the kitchen to the other end??? I have just had my kitchen opened up and the light switches are by the old entrance which has now been blocked off. Would I be better running a new cable from the junction box and starting from scratch...
