Hi,
I'm looking for some advice on rendering.
Having moved into a property last September, I knew the property needed the wall ties replaced and I am carrying out the work this spring. As scaffolding will be up, i've investigated getting the house re-rendered because its quite patchy in places where areas have been patched up very poorly and no effort made to blend the original rough finish with the new smooth. The render sounds solid (not hollow) so i'm not concerned it will break away, but i've looked into hacking it all off and starting again but unfortunately our budget won't allow us to do that this year.
Seeming as scaffolding will be up, I wondered if anyone has any ideas how I could turn the 'new smooth' render rough to match the 'old render' to at least make it not as obvious before its repainted.
Could I potentially use a sandblaster or some sort of blasting method?
Obviously I don't expect to make it perfect, but if anyone has any ideas which may at least tidy up the render I would really appreciate it.
I've attached a few photos which may or may not help.
Thanks,
Tom
