Got to be up there surely???ouch...

[Bigstevehammer]

Been asked to look at this job and see if I can put it right..just downed tools the builders and never seen again,so now they have limited funds and need to get this right..I was thinking of doing a thin coat over it??
Also got to try and clean the drive for them some how in the price??
That’s piss poor all round,I never though I’d come across something that bad??
They walk amongst us...

Thin coat system would be the way,
The drive shouldn't be to bad, use the everbuild mortar Stain remover diluted on it, with a pressure washer. it will be stubborn as it's absorbed into the block paving but it will lift.

Cheers mate,I’m just waiting on agreement of price,I really don’t know how people get away with it tbf,..but they do!!
It was an Ivory by k-rend,I hate k rend gear though even there silicone,is there any other supplier that’s close to their ivory??
Prb chambord maybe...
Cheers

It's because they don't know what there are doing simple as that, it's not exclusive to rendering, its in all trades and it's not even a new thing is it, there's always been cowboys and con merchants in the building game.

Pro rend do a ivory should be pretty close

One thing I've done throughout my near 35 year long career is never got involved with other people's work...do yourself a favour pal and walk away from it.

Not your business mate, wait till they save funds to pay you what it's worth otherwise you will have to start cutting corners.

That’s ok and I agree to a point but these jobs need putting right by someone! From experience I’ve taken jobs on but let the customer know that all existing should be taken off so it’s back to its bear state and redone correctly! And priced according.....I don’t get many of these when they hear the prices

I’ve spoke to her,she’s a lovely woman tbf..just had her knickers pulled down,she just wants it looking neat and tidy,I said it’s like trying to tie a ribbon round a turd and passing it off as a silk purse...I can only do what I can do,I think In places it’ll need a tight coat of something to straighten it up here and there,but she’s cool with trying to make it look a touch neater,..think she’s more concerned about the drive if I’m honest
But I’m going to give it a crack,I was thinking g changing the colour completely,go a brilliant white,make it look a bit sharper..

If you go with pro-rend just get a few bags of float that they do just make sure you prime in between any coats you bang on! Seems like it could be quite a straight forward easy job once you get everything dubbed out probably mesh it all again I would say

Yeah I think it wont be too sad tbf,she said they meshed it already,but I’ll do it again..I’m not going to re bead the whole thing ,just where it’s a bit in your face..the rest I’ll just spray with a silicone..

I’ll use owls advice and use the everbuild for the drive I think,going to be a b*****d that

Two wrongs never made a right. Admire your courage for taking it on. Good luck.
