Cheers mate, I've dropped you an email.

Hi, Need a quote for a 3 bed semi. Not sure if I should go wit K Rend or Parex so any advice would be helpful. Based in Bradford, area to be covered is approx 90sqm but would need to be checked. Cheers.

Whys that mate? Also, is there anyone on here based in the Yorkshire area that could do this job?

Do we have a rep from @K Rend on the forum?

Thanks for the input guys. It’s safe to say with that information don’t think I will be using him. Found someone that will be carrying out the full process including the base and meshing.

It’s all brick.

Not my house mate, a customer. I'm doing all the research before I give the job as it's a lot of money to be spent.

Didn't take any pics of the work just seen it in person. He's saying that a base coat wouldn't be needed on all walls.

He was a recommendation, seen some of this work too. However, he tried telling me that a base coat wouldn't be needed as he's applying with a machine! Sounded a little sus to me hence why I've asked the question on here.

I'd like to clue myself up on here before I start with the questions. He could be telling me anything and I wouldn't know any different!

Hi lads, What is the normal process for applying a silicone based render from K Rend? Someone is willing to do the job using a machine but I'm wanting to know if a base coat and mesh would still be needed when applying with a machine?

Isn't a forum a place to come ask the experts for an unbiased opinion instead going to people or tradesmen that will push a product they get the best deal on or try to sell themselves as the best thing since sliced bread??

I want the best job with the best product! Everyone I have spoken to is talking about K Rend and everyone on here is recommending Parex.

So whats the difference between scratch and silicone?

Everyone I've had quotes from have told me that K Rend (silicone based) is the better product. Conflicting information being given. Is Parex a scratch render?

Yep I agree, left all that work for me! It's shame no one off this forum came forward when I was looking for a plasterer.

Is there anything I need to know or do when painted newly plastered walls?

Well that makes sense. I'd say on a whole the walls feel smooth in most places, but for the bits that don't, what do I do with them? Sand? And what would I be filling if that is also required?

But is there no way of getting the walls as close to straight as possible?

No, not too expensive. Quite happy with the price for skimming the whole house as long as the job is a good one! I've been running my hand over the walls and can feel the plaster dip and weave... Now not sure if it's all level! Is that normal for re-skimmed walls?

What should I be looking for once painted?

Hi guys, Just had one of my rooms re-skimmed and was wanting the opinions of the more experienced plasters on here. Is it worth having these guys finish the remainder of the house?

How to the above look guys? Sorry for the rotation being the wrong way round, happened when uploading to the site.

Worst for what reasons? Not as durable? Or is it because its more difficult to apply?

Why are these better than K Rend?

what should I expect to pay for a 3 bed semi?

Lads, Having settled on for a plasterer (have another on here) I am also need a quality renderer for the same property. Also want to know what product is preferred, K Rend or Parex on here? Thanks

So for flat walls, is that a dot and dab job?

Another question, what should I be looking to pay (labour) for the whole house doing except the kitchen? It's a regular sized 3 bed semi.

Yeah just seen that!! It was a long day and very close to my bed time when I posted... Lol So what should a good job look like? I have a lad coming to mine on Monday whose been recommended but not sure what I should be comparing against.

@Dropsalot wtf you been smoking mate??
