Rendering coming away from external wall

Posted by Russell Cook, on
Just noticed have small area of concrete rendering come away from external wall (extension) exposing breeze blok. No more than couple foot by 1 foot. leaving to work overseas for month or so in next couple of days. am I ok to leave till get back as winter almost here or do i need fixed urgently?

rendering shouldnt do that. theres lots of reasons but if its come away in a chunk that size, it cant belong till more is falling off. its there to protect the walls from the weather, and to give a smooth surface to paint. if youre in an area of the country that gets hard driving rain the walls can become saturated and dmap, even if they are cavity ones.
