    Artex Ceiling Removal

    Looking to have an Artex ceiling in a room that is 9m squared either removed or work done to remove the textured effect. I am unaware if it contains asbestos at this stage. Is it possible to plaster over Artex ceiling to achieve a smooth finish or must it be removed?

    Render repair or complete re render

    Can render be repaired. I have some areas of render which is coming off, does it all have to be re-rendered or could it be repaired. I feel that a builder wouldn’t want to repair and therefore it would be a costly job to have the front and side of house re done. Will take advice off expert.

    Tryolean poor finish and damp patches

    Just had a gable end wall rendered with tyrolean leaving a very lumpy uneven finish with outlines of the blockwork showing through (ghosting I believe its called) . The original render was hacked off, then a very thin coat of a grey material was sprayed on to the blockwork before they started spraying on the tryolean, they also did not removed a wood burner flue just sprayed around existing render. Now after rainfall not only do we have the uneven finish but the area around the flue looks damp for days. Builder has offered to recover the wall due to poor finish but I am worried job was not done correctly in the first place - should there have been some form of render applied after the thin grey substance and before the tyrolean?

    K-Rend Colour help please.

    We are looking to render our house but have read multiple conflicting reviews regarding K-Rend. Originally chose polar white as we want a slightly off white but have been told it’s more cream/yellow? Anyone have a better recommendation as to colour?

    House Rendering

    I have a semi-detached property and the render is coming off in places around the window. It looks sturdy elsewhere and it doesn't seem to extensive that it should all have to come off but can you patch these bits? How do you know If the render is in too bad of a condition, what do you use to patch? Any help would be appreciated.
