Rendering

[bassanclan]

I am managing a refurb of a large 5 bedroom 1950s detached house.
Brick/brick construction with block/block extensions.

The whole property is to be rendered with ashlar grooves such as:

This (found on the internet)

Or this house locally (not sure if the top half has been re-rendered in the past)

The job is in Atherstone Warwickshire

I imagine that the above two properties are lime/cement and sand.
I am open to that option, but I expect the cost will be prohibitive and a modern commercial render may be a better option.

If you have experience in this sort of work please get in touch

[Vincey]

Looks 1850 - 1900 to me

The photos are examples of the final finish that is required.
The house has 333 sqm to render
This is what it currently looks like...

Out of interest did you seal it after and have you been past since? Does it look as nice still or dis coloured?

When would you want the work doing ?

 

[bassanclan]

The work should be able to commence in late April - we're just waiting for delivery of the windows.
There is also all the internal skimming to be done which could be pulled in during wet times

 

[Danny]

looks like a nice job WOuld like to see the finished job

who choose to build with thermalite blocks ?

 

[bassanclan]

They are dense concrete blocks.
The owners didn't like the existing brickwork and intended to render the whole building when they started the extension, so no point in building in bricks and then covering them with render

So you want the render and skimming doing May onwards ?

Do you already have someone lined up for the boarding inside ?

i have not seen a concrete block that look blue before, that is why i thought they were thermalite blocks.

I've have guys that I regularly employ to board and skim etc.
I know guys who can render a house, but I don't know anyone who has done the ashlar grooves and/or lime render to a really high standard.
If I was employing someone to render the house on a day rate, then there is boarding/skimming which could be done if the external rendering can't be done due to weather.

Yes the last week of April/first week of May start date for external rendering

I've have guys that I can call to board and skim etc.

[seanlar]

We could show you how to do that

 

[jamesthefirst]

Atherstone is where parex have thier headquarters. Tthey could get you names of approved lime based applicators. Or maybe Tradlym in cheltenham.

Why does it have to be lime render just finish this with lines in it.

 

[User___removed]

Exactly.if it has a cavity just use sand & cent
It will look the same and be cheaper
