Hi Guys
I am sure you have answered this question a million times over and am sorry if I am repeating myself.
I am having the outside of my house rendered by my builder, however I have told him I am going to shop about for all the material to try and beat our budget. I want to buy the sand and cement plus the other material so we can get this done. When I asked him what I need he asked me to buy rendering sand and blue circle grey cement.
When I have seen other threads on this site, they have stated lime, waterproofers and plasctercisers.
We already have the thick pebble dash on there, and he is going to key that and render over.
My questions are:
- Can I use Leighton buzzard Sand for the Render?
- Is Blue circle cement any good?
- What brand of waterproofer/plasticiser do I use?
- Where do I get the lime from?
- What kind of lime is it?
I would appreciate any help you can give, as I dont want to buy him the wrong material.
Thanks and regards
Guvvi
