I have a house built about 1930 of single brick that still has what I take to be the original render. There are hairline cracks that have let in water and caused damp on an internal wall.
I want to replace the render, which extends around a corner, to a total length of roughly 12ft by 4ft high. I have browsed the forums as to how this should be done but get more confused the more I read! There seem to be a dozen and more opinions about using, or not: pva - how much, when and in what dilution; the same applies to sand, cement and lime; galvanised or stainless steel for the corner? Can anyone supply a definitive answer?
I live in Worcester, so if there are any local experts who might want to take on and do an expert job - I'm 'listening'.
