Hi there. Have a problem with a some rendering that was done a few months ago.
A garage was partly demolished to make way for a new extension. The dividing wall between next doors garage was plaster skim that we had to render over as it was now external. The plasterer hacked off most of the existing skim and roughed up the wall to make a 'key'. I don't know if he sealed the wall prior to applying the scratch coat.
Unfortunately, now there are several large cracks that have appeared and the render has clearly blown and is very 'live' when tapped.
Rather than hack off all the render, would a solution be to mechanically fix EML and two coat render over this?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
