External render … any good

[jim8flog]

Houses with render always threw up the "wonder what they are trying to cover up" question. It maybe the answer is "nothing" but that's the question

Reminds me of a lot of houses in a nearby road. All the houses have cracking in the external block work and it is obvious why some have rendered. You can see the cracking in some of the rendering.

You shouldn't buy a cheaply rendered house! Redrow and all of those ilk are the same, profits before quality. Properly done, Render should last and look good for a very long time!! North facing with no sun, it may get mouldy so be conscious of direction the wall is facing!

Oye that is interesting... our entrance is N-NW.. atleast 2 walls wont see much sunshine + another wall under the porch.
