Hi Guys
Wondering if you might be able to help as I feel we are out of depth at the mo - have had numerous calls with Weber technical but am hoping you might be able to help!
Earlier in the year we had all the render removed from our house and Weber Pral M in Ivory applied. At first happy with the finish but when the scaffold was removed, we noticed a large patch of different colour render - at first we thought it was a damp patch, as is several shades darker than the rest of the house, however, the guy that applied it has said was a bag of render with a different batch number that has caused the issue - he has agreed to put right.
But, this is the problem, working out how to rectify.
Was first suggested that we paint the problem area but Weber have advised me that only painting one section will be a difference in texture and be noticeable - the render has said he won't paint the whole house as it is only one section that is a different colour - we obviously spent a pretty fortune on this so want the whole house to look the same. Renderer bought up a board of render, which he had painted (over the top of Pral M) in Weber paint but it was massively different in colour (even though it was supposed to be Weber Ivory paint.
Was also suggested that he hack off the render of the problem wall but, this was all part of a big renovation project - new windows, new lower roofs etc, we are concerned that this will cause more damage and really want to avoid this option if possible.
So now he is suggesting rendering over the top of the whole wall that is the different colour - I'd be really interested to hear any views on rendering over the top of fairly new render/ is this a good idea/ what should we be aware of? We are a semi-detached house so I'm particularly concerned how we avoid a "step" where the two houses meet. Would you suggest any other solution to getting this problem sorted??
Our rendered is trying to sort for us but I suspect, despite saying that he has rendered lots before that he has not done many before - we are generally pleased with how the reset of the house looks, its just really unfortunate that where this discoloured patch is right above the front door, so sort of smacks you in the face as you walk up the path
Any thoughts/ advice massively appreciated.
PS - if any one has regularly used Weber Pral M in Ivory - would you say this is Ivory?? We were expecting it to be a lot lighter, he said that it would get lighter but still seems very "cream" to us??
