Hi
I had an extension built abut 5 years ago. It is needing a fresh coat of paint so I am was seeking advice on the best filler to use for the few cracks that have appeared? I have tried to use cement before but he crack always comes back so not sure this correct. I saw that my builder had used some exterior polyfilla and these seems to work well but the texture does not match the render. Can I go over the filler with some cement to make it match? These cracks are very minor and have not changed much over the past year or two.
Can someone also recommend how I deal with the paint below the DPC as it is bubbly and flaky and the surface seems very loose. Should I seal this and then paint? It is quite low down compared to the house the the front of the driveway is higher than the hose so there is natural water coming down from the front to the back under the foundation.
