    Should old render be removed ?

    I’ve had a couple of quotes for silicone render. One contractor has said all the old render needs to be removed first back to brick, with the possibility that lead flashing to flat roof may fall out ( it’s only been installed a couple of weeks ago) the other contractor has said that he will only remove the blown old render before applying the new 3 layer silicone render (base coat, mesh & silicone). Which approach is correct?
