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 similar finish but a lot cheaper than the webber render. The house has been redashed, so there is currently two coats of render, which is going past the brick work. I've just had one guy have a look, and he suggested just removing the last coat of pebble-dash and then scratching the first coat? Is this the correct way to do this, shouldn't he take it right back to the bare brick? is this an ideal way of rendering or is this a quicker and easier way for him to get the job done ?
any advice would be appreciated.
