K rend to outside wall
My wall was completed in June last year. I have noticed 4 or 5 small blemishes they are the only ones I can see at my eye level. These blemishes have appeared as small holes, a couple even have a rust coloured appearance. One actually looks like render has fallen off. Any suggestions please. I have sent the Renderer five photos today. He has read my message but not commented in nine hours.

Skimming over artex issues
We recently had the artex ceilings in our kitchen and lounge skimmed over, but we’ve encountered several issues with the finish. Cracks appeared within days and the ceiling overall looks uneven. During the day, natural light highlights shadows and imperfections. Are the cracks normal, or do they suggest a poor job? Can the uneven finish be corrected by sanding the existing plaster properly, or would the ceiling need to be redone entirely? I’m also wondering if we need to adjust our expectations. Is it simply not possible to achieve a perfectly smooth finish when skimming over artex? Any advice on the best way forward would be greatly appreciated.
