Seeking advice please

[Norrie kerr]

Hi to you all...I have just added a rear extension to my home and I'm disgusted with roughcast. My builder firstly roughcasted pure white and my house is cream...it looked like a chess board lol. He agreed to re roughcast over first attempt but against his roughcaster advice coated over ingos again and it has left a horrendous finish at my patio doors and windows. Also bottom of walls are very un even and it looks really bad....it's there anything I can do to make jonlb presentable.....first finish was good but colour way out....second job colour a lot closer and good but finish terrible....thanks in advance for any info.

Am I missing something here?

Could it gave not all just been over painted?

 

[Norrie kerr]

Wish now I had opted for painting but was assured it would be OK.

 

[Norrie kerr]

Is it an option guys to level off bottom of wall with grinder or such like...ps thanks for getting back

 

[Danny]

I was expecting a lot worse than that...

@owls @malc @Wezly @Dansouthcoast84 @flynnyman @Arti @theclemo to name a few...

(there are far too many to list that know roughcast inside and out)

 

[flynnyman]

Looks ok what's the problem?

 

[Norrie kerr]

That's encouraging danny but does look bad up close at ingos...can they be removed and re done?

 

[Norrie kerr]

Hi mate...thought it bit rough corners etc to be honest....

 

[flynnyman]

Looks like it matches the top might look better when the bottom bead is cleaned off.

Thanks flynnyman...all has been done by builder is the black gear trimmed....how do you clean off bead mate?

 

[flynnyman]

Just looked close up it looks ok maybe a couple of snots just scrape them back with a Stanley knife.

Cheers again....let you know how get on with trimming spotters of guys....

 

[owls]

Looks a bit patchy but might not have dried through yet, as said shots should clean off angles, seen plenty worse.

 

[Dropsalot]

Bit of a clean up, new patio/ decking, summer evening some friends round, glass of prosecco and the barbecue asizzlin'....what's not to like? .....

 

[CeeVee]

What's ingos?

 

[Rigsby]

Reveals I think?

Looks ok to me. Can't expect a perfect match with Roughcasting. Different mix ratio, wetness.

Cheers for getting back mate....am I stuck with it?

 

[Davy sned]

I can't see any way to sort that other than do the back section again not that much material involved Long as you get same mix the edge of ingos remind me of a tiger loaf best of luck

 

[Norrie kerr]

Nice! Any pics!

Where they originally dashed?

I suppose possible option could be to cut the depth out with a grinder.

Allowing for new render with dash.

Tbh though you need to have a good think first though as you've already decided to have redashed instead of over paint which has caused you issues with the bead profiles etc.

There's every possibility that by cutting into the reveals that you disturb the integratory of the joining render which could cause far more trouble down the line than just cosmetic details.

They may be able to add a dash coat over the top of the reveals as they are but not forced to look pretty.

Think long and hard about this 1 pal very easy to create a new problem that you may be unhappy with.

Good luck
