We've recently moved into a house which hasn't had the best attention, and the render above the living room window has failed. The render stop (I think) has also corroded.
My question is how would i go about rebuilding this. The flare is quite wide, 70mm in total and it looks to have been built in two stages (see photo). There's a piece of rotten wood, then there's about 40mm of render then a 30mm render stop, and render onto that. Do 60mm+ render stops exists? My current thinking is hack it back, replace the rotten wood, attach a render stop to that, render up to that, then attach another render stop and render up to that.
My alternative thinking is that it shouldn't be as flared as it is in the first place, and that hacking it back, replacing the wood and attach a render stop would be ok. It looks the house has had at least a couple of renderings during its life, so the that's why it's so wide.
Thanks!
