  • 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.

    How to clean flint

    Having our old cottage re-tendered, hacked it off already and there is a 18”- 2’ bit at the bottom which are flint stones. Love the look and would like to try to keep them exposed to show the character. however obviously a lot of cement on many of them and just wondered if there was something we could use to dissolve the residue or in some place, remove chunks of cement to clean them up ? Any suggestions please?!!!
