External Rendering

Posted by Mebs Alom, on
Hello. I would like to get my property rendered as it's a very old house. Wherenver there's rain etc, a few hours later there's dam patches on the walls. As the brick work is old, I can only imagine that this is causing the problem and this only happens when there's bad weather. I feel that external rendering will rectify this problem but not sure how what kind of rendering I should go for. I've had one tradesman who would be doing a wetherby render but wanted to know more info.

Good afternoon You are describing what sounds to be a penetrating damp probably that is likely being caused by a breakdown of the external render. There are a few processes that you can look at to solve the issue including replacing the external render. What I would suggest as one possible solution is that companies such as ourselves who are a Registered contractor for "Andura". We would look to repair and replace any and all damaged/ blown render before applying a flexible and breathable resin coating. The benefits include that it will stop the penetrating damp issue your describing, it is Independently Insured for 15 years and it will not chip, flake or peel for that period of time. Andura products come with this along with BBA and BSI support, all of which you would not get from your traditional renderer. We cover most of the southern counties from High Wycombe across to Essex and down to Brighton including London and everything in between. We also are quite competitive when quoting against render work. Kind regards Paul
