render

[I&KMC]

We have recently had or home extenended and we wanted the existing house (which was currently pebbledashed) and the extension rendered and coated in a coloured tyrolean.

The plasterer that we hired to do the job chipped off the pebbledash and applied one coat only of plaster to the whole property which was a rough coat. He then applied the tyrolean direct to this render.

The end result looks terrible. The tyrolean was all different textures and has many colour variations around the house. Becasue he never applied a smooth coat of render the end result looks like there is cracks in the plaster. Also when we have wet weather we can still see the plaster showing through the tyrolean.

I would like to be assured that our property is protected against damp
seeping through. Our plasterer also did not cover any of our property whilst using the tyrolean and has damaged our new windows, garage door, roof slates, brickwork to a neighbouring wall and our driveway.

When confronted he claims that we need to paint the tyrolean if we do not want any colour variation and that the plaster is waterproof. Is this correct?

Please can anyone give us any advice as to how to correct the bad job that we think he has done.

he chipped off the pebble dash then 2 coat rerendered the walls ?

with any tyrolean it should have a dry dust free cementuous background , you can`t PVA an old wall and tyrolean that or even tyrolean over paint,

did he tyrolean over just the scratch coat ?

you can buy different coloured tyroleans but it may not match wot you already have.

he diffinately should have covered all windows soffits and barge boards, its a sod to get off once dry

it will be water proof to a cetain extent but he should have used a waterproofing agent in the first scratch coat,
