The bobbly rendering we have on the back of our house is breaking away in several places and I was wondering if possible to do a weatherproof patch-up job rather than stripping all the render off and having it redone. We had a rough quote earlier today of between £4000-£7000, which is pretty much out of our price range. It doesn't really matter if the repairs exactly match the existing render, just so long as they prevent any possible damage to the house. Incidentally, some of the damage was done by ivy climbing up the wall. We stripped that off, but it also took some of the render with it. Please excuse the non-technical language here lol!

Any ideas or help will be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Tobe

If it was me, i'd make Ivy pay for the damage!! :LOL:,,, seriously though,, it is possible to patch up the old coating,, (roughcast/pebbledash or tyrolean???), but it'll never look perfect. Can you put a photo on for us to see the problem???
 
You could knock off what is loose and try and patch it in as best as possible, it wont match though. As roughcaster said, get a pic or two up :)
