• The quote includes a rebuilt corner and its metal angle when failed render on the Alton house runs through a corner or a window opening.
• The quote includes the standing frame when the failed Alton coat sits too high to work from the paving.
• Paint after the new Alton coat has hardened is separate. So is work on a gutter, a roof covering or a window that let rain sit behind the face.
• A coat over every outside wall is quoted as External wall rendering. We are on time, and the Alton repair stays to the price you were given.

• Standing frame for a high Alton patchWe use scaffold where the failed patch on an Alton house is too high to reach from the paving. Scaffold means a temporary frame that gives a place to stand. We sheet the glass, the doors and the paving before the mix is made. A patch beside the paving needs no frame. We have rendered from boards against a house front. We have rendered from boards along a side wall.
• Hollow sounds on an Alton outside wallWe find every loose part of the Alton coat by knocking it. A hollow sound means blown render. Blown render is coat that has parted from the brick or the block. We chalk every hollow sound. The face can show no split and still sound hollow. We rake open a crack that still clings. We brush that crack clear so rain cannot run in behind the coat.
• Firm coat left around an Alton holeThe coat that still clings stays on the Alton wall. We take off only the chalked render. We stop cutting where the surrounding coat still grips the brick or the block. We sweep dust from the face we have opened. We wet that bare face so the fresh mix can bond. We make the mix only after the wetting.
• Layers of sand and cement in AltonWe spread sand and cement over the bare Alton masonry. A deep hole starts with a scratch coat. A scratch coat is the first layer. We drag a comb through that layer while it is soft. The grooves let the following layer lock on. We pull a long rule across each layer until the build sits flush with the coat that stayed. Where that coat is smooth, a float rubs the last layer shut. A float is a flat blade. Where that coat is rough, we press the same roughness into the wet face.
• Alton corners and the stop above the groundWe build a chipped corner on the Alton house back to a straight line. We rebuild a broken reveal in the same pass. A reveal is the cheek at the side of a window or a door. We bed a bead on the corner before the face layer. A bead is a thin metal angle that keeps the corner straight. The fresh face ends in a straight line just above the ground. We leave that coat to harden. We take the tools away. We leave the ground clear.
