Interested in purchasing a house (built 89/90) which has all sides rendered from about 70cm's upwards. Looks in good condition no big cracks just a nasty colour.
Questions if I may as I have never owned a rendered house before and am a little concerned at the upkeep over a traditional bricked built house.
1) DIY painting or get someone in? I'm happy to paint it but there is a garage that gets in the way of one side and a large conservatory at the back which takes up about 15ft so getting over these obstacles will be my issue.
2) What to use for repairing small cracks / loose render, mainly around the windows as some of them have been replaced and the render damaged when fitting.
3) Best paint - I am looking to put it back to White or near as but dont want to have to paint it every year, I've seen Dulux, Sandtex and a Johnstones.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
