The front of my terrace house needs to be re-rendered (several areas blown, some areas that have been patched previously are shoddy) AND our wooden porch is quite rotten.
I don't think I can afford to replace both render and porch in one go, so was thinking of getting the porch dismantled and the rendering done first, then a new porch the following year.
There is lead flashing in the wall for the flat roof of the existing porch.
I'm thinking that it would be a shame to disturb the new render when I come to build the porch.
With this in mind would it be best to leave the flashing in situe when the new render goes on, ready for the new porch and so that the new render doesn't need to be disturbed when the new porch goes on?
Should I be planning this another way round?
