Hi,
My house has got various cracked or crumbling bits of render both inside and out (mainly just cracks outside, a couple of crumbling bits inside). I can't afford to get builder to fix them so I'm going to have to attempt it myself. I've attached a couple of pictures of one bit that needs doing. The whole strip of plaster next to the window has crumbled with the worst bit being where I've pulled the paper back. I would like to repair it using lime since that's what it's currently made of. How exactly would I go about doing it? I think I'm a fairly competent DIYer but I've never worked with lime plaster before. Many thanks in advance!
