Hi all,
I had my gable end rendered a couple of years ago but we got cracks and it hollowed out and we had water penetration.
I hacked it off and had it rendered again just before Christmas and it was mild.
Within a couple of weeks we had water penetration again.
I have tapped all round the render and no hollows.
I believe now that it could have been the window causing the problem by not being masticked?
The water comes in where the 210mm celcon blockwork meets original brickwork.
I have attached photos, any advice would be much appreciated.
