Dear plasterers - I could do with some help identifying the type of render used on my new house - unfortunately the builders went bust so I can not ask them. The paint which they have used (piolite and water based in some places) is now coming away in large patches on the side exposed to the weather. The render is about 12-15mm thick with no apparent layers so it looks like it was put on in one coat. I also don't know the best way to sort this out - whether to try to strip the paint (soda blasting?) and repaint with the correct paint or scratch the paint off and re-render? Your help would be hugely appreciated.
