As I said at the very top, we're broadly happy with it - not saying the whole job is shite. As for going over dash, it does make me wonder why we've paid for the rest of it to be chipped off then! But anyway, that's why I've asked for advice on here - not pretending I know all about it. Sounds...

Yeah it's getting covered so not concerned about that

Thanks all. The renderers took the brackets off the soil pipe to base coat - it the pipe was therefore unsupported and left to lean in and rest on the wall. They pulled it away from the wall to do the base but then for some reason I don't understand when they came to top coat they just left it...

Yes you are spot on - the brackets were taken off to render and it leant against the wall as a result. When rendering no one bothered to move it back out to provide clearance

Thanks very much lads. In fairness I don't expect it to be perfect behind there but there's actually loads of clearance. The problem is that the base coat is exposed there and the height of the topcoat finish either side of the pipe is different. How do you think it can be Sorted? We are...

Hi all We're currently having our house K rendered and it isn't going too well. The attached photo shows how the area behind our soil pipe has been dealt with. I feel the answer is pretty obvious but am I right to say this is not acceptable, and will compromise the wall pretty quickly? How...
