Hi Guys
I have a real issue with my external walls, they are blowing like mad now and cracked and crazed badly. In fact this is now starting to effect the internal walls
The house in an 1860s end of terrace and was re-rendered only 8 years ago and has been sat with a coat of Whetherproof paint on it for 5 or so since then, no I haven't repainted it since and yes I do feel silly now
I have had a quote from a local company to use a product called Treatexwall which is certified to stay on for 15 years. I know its not a traditional finish but there is a house over the road with stone clading so I hardly feel I am ruining the atmosphere of the area
Anyone had any experience of this stuff? The quote is £5000 which is a bit steep but if it is going to give me an easy life for a few years then its a price worth paying.
Any input would be greatly appreciated
Would getting a normal plasterer to come and re-render the outside be just as effective and cheaper?
Someone also suggested that as this has now caused internal damp then a non permiable solution such as this is a bad idea but what should I do instead?
Cheers
