External rendering repair price in Andover
External rendering repair in Andover is quoted before the visit. The quote follows the amount of failed render, the height of that render, and the state of the brick behind it. The quote includes the tapping test, the cutting out, and new sand and cement levelled to the wall. A short crack is a smaller repair than a wide section that must come off.
From £350
Included
- Sounding the wall to find loose render

What happens on the day
On an External rendering repair day in Andover we test the outside wall for coat that has come loose. Render is the sand and cement layer on that wall. We cut the failed render away. We build the area back in sand and cement. The repaired wall sheds rain again.
- Hollow render on an Andover houseWe tap the outside walls of the house in Andover. We mark each patch that sounds hollow. Blown render is coat that has parted from the brick underneath. The face of that coat can still look whole. We open cracks that are still fixed to the wall. We clean those cracks so rain cannot run in behind them.
- Firm brick under failed render in AndoverWe take the loose render off the wall in Andover. We stop where the coat around the hole still grips the brick. We brush the open brick clear of dust. We wet that brick so the new coat sticks. We cover the windows, the doors and the ground beneath the repair before any mixing starts.
- Sand and cement on an Andover patchWe lay sand and cement on the bare brick in coats. We level each coat with a straight edge until it meets the render that stayed. A deep area starts with a scratch coat. A scratch coat is combed while soft so the following coat locks into the grooves. The final face copies the render still on the wall, smooth or textured.
- Corners and the foot of an Andover wallWe rebuild chipped corners on the wall in Andover so they run straight. We rebuild a broken reveal in the same way. A reveal is the side return of a window or a door. A metal bead gives that corner its straight edge. A bead is the metal strip fixed on the corner. The new coat finishes in a clean line along the foot of the wall.
- Scaffold for high render in AndoverWe put scaffold up when the failed render is too high to reach from the ground. Scaffold is the temporary frame that gives a place to stand while the coats go on. The high part of the wall in Andover is repaired from that frame. A low area on the wall does not need scaffold. The frame comes down after the new face has been levelled.
