Plastering

Hi everyone,
I am trying to find out how you render and what is involved. My mother has a small bungalow which is painted but is a bit flakey. Can anyone give me a quick run through.

Many thanks

Lesley

do you mean that just the paint is flaking in areas or do you mean the existing render has cracked and has parted company with the subsrate i.e block or brickwork. if its just the paint flaking I would scrape off all loose and flakey paint, stabilise the render and re- paint. If you have never rendered before don't even think about it unless its patch work re-rendering in very small areas. If the property has never been rendered and its just painted brickwork or something the same applies to stabilise and re-paint to save an awful lot of money

I would much rather keep the plain brick wall than put that stuff on. Give me the compo made up in the mixer anyday.

GOd!!! Can you imagine mixing 5 or 6 mixer fulls of "Render It" it would cost you a fortune, I'm with rough- caster on this one!!!!! Would love to see them putting that on in "site" conditions

Couldn’t resist the video clip but I’m not sure it was very helpful for the OP who has probably been frightened off for good! Dave’s response is definitely the most sensible of the bunch, well done Dave; sometimes it’s difficult to resist the temptation, sorry OP!
