So the builder is saying that the most cost effective route for just repaiting render is to use a tyrolean finish with a couple other layers. When I questioned if it would mix in with the old render he said the last layer would be spread over all the render, both old and new.
Isn't it cheaper to just get a decorater to paint over the old and new render to get it to match after patching? Are they just trying to up the quote with adding work that's a lot easier to do than it looks? (just 1 final layer) I clearly have no idea how any of this works, but help appreciated thyre coming tomorrow to give a quote.
Also are these cracks even bad enough to have water pentrating them? I defo have water coming through cos my kitchen is on the other side and has weeds growing from under the cupboards atm. However there is damage to the floor outside so water is defo cominng through there. Perhaps water is coming through the cracks AND the floor? Thanks.
