K Rend Water stains

[ni nutter]

Evening all. Moved into a new build (2017) last year and there's quite a bit of water stains below the window cills and around base of DPC. No damp in the house. Asked the guy who did the rendering - he said it was K-Rend, wasn't interesting in sorting it and suggested I apply bleach to the damp marks! In short a rubbish job....

Anyway, the damp marks don't go away in the sunshine (from the damage - last owner clouted wall with a trailer - the dark water stains are only in the very top layer of render). FWIW there is quite a fall away from the house, so the rain water doesn't pool against it. And the pic below is typical - pretty much every single window, and area at base of DPC has this

Any ideas what I can apply to shift these water stains?

Cheers

Wait until it dries out or dry it with a heat gun then apply Stormdry gel.

Bottom will never dry.
No beak from ground to render ..needs removal of tarmac install edging to form the break

No mate no Such thing as rising damp .However render to floor the outcome is this ,
the render absorbs the wet from no splash course or break

Thanks for the comments - much appreciated. Yeah, In my last house there was a 6" channel of pea shingle between the render and whatever hard standing came next. Seemed obvious to me - somewhere for the water to go. That said, it seems common place here for folk to render (monocouche) down to a hard standing - guess it's cheaper and quicker........

FWIW over the heat wave last year the staining remained - between the ground and DPC and around the window sills. To me this implies that whatever caused the discolouration won't dry with sunshine (around the sills - all I can guess is something leached off the concrete when new and caused the staining). So, with that in mind, what would you recommend to remove the stains - guess I'm after suggestions for products?? I'm sure the best solution would be to hack it all off and do it again properly, but I can't afford the thousands it'll cost.

BTW in the short term I'm going to plump for a drainage channel around the property.
