House Rendering

Best Answer

"If the wall sounds hollow around where there’s cracks, or the render has come of, then the whole lot needs to be taken of. With trying to patch a render when it’s dried, and painted you would most probably see where the patch is. My advice would be to take it off, and do it again using mesh in the scratch coat to stop cracking."

"Yes it’s possible to patch only those bits it is also possible to render over the top of the rest each job is different though"

"No, you don’t have to take all render off. You can remove loose areas. To check if render, do this by tapping areas and if it sounds hollow it has blown and will need coming off in areas affected. Depending on how much of the render is like this do you take it off fully but if it is only small areas Have it out back to brick brush PVA into the area and use sand and cement to fill areas. Wait for it to dry but not fully, flatten with a float and use a car. Sponge and Lightly rub over all of the sand and Cement"

"You have to see where the patches are. Is there any more cracking, at the extended end. If not you can patch them, making them rounder, and winder without problem."

"You can patch , with cement render , depending on how loose the edges are."

"A simple hammer check would show where needs to chipped off, and patched. if the majority off it was boss, which means loose, you would benefit from getting the whole panel re done."

"IF YOU ARE HAVING WATER EGRESS, THE LIKELYHOOD IS THAT YOU WILL HAVE WHATS CALLED BOSSED AREAS, POCKETS OF WATER, OR LOOOSE RENDER ON YOUR BUILDING."

"Yes you can patch up something cement render chop of the defective areas arm and patch then stabilise it and repaint the whole thing"

"tap the render to see if its blown, 9/10 you can guarantee its a bigger job than just patching in"
