External rendering repair in Basingstoke

• A metal angle and a straight corner sit in the price when the failed coat on the Basingstoke house runs through a corner or past a window.
• Scaffold for render above reach is included in the Basingstoke price.
• Paint on the hardened coat sits outside this cost. So does mending a gutter, roof covering or window that let rain sit behind the render.
• We start the Basingstoke repair at the arranged time. The figure given for that wall stays the figure for the work.

• Access for render repairs in BasingstokeWhere the failed coat on a Basingstoke house cannot be worked while standing on the paving, we put scaffold up before anything else. Scaffold is a working platform of boards set against the house. We cover the glass and the door openings with sheets. We sheet the paving and the soil under the patch before any mixing starts.
• Hollow patches on a Basingstoke wallWe tap the outside wall at the Basingstoke house across the damaged area. If a tap sounds hollow, the coat no longer grips the brick or block. That loose coat is blown render. We mark each hollow patch. We rake open any crack that still holds. We clear the dust from that crack so rain cannot track behind the face.
• Firm edges under render in BasingstokeWe remove only the render that has failed on the Basingstoke wall. We stop cutting where the surrounding coat still grips. We brush dust off the brick or block we have exposed. We wet that surface so the new mix bonds. The wetting happens just before the first layer goes on.
• Sand and cement on a Basingstoke patchWe spread a sand and cement mix over the brick or block we have opened. Where the hole is deep, we comb grooves into the first layer before it firms. Those grooves make a scratch coat. The next layer locks into them. We draw a straight edge across the build until it sits flush with the coat left beside it. We smooth the face when the neighbouring coat is smooth. We press a matching texture into the wet face when the neighbouring coat is textured.
• Corners on a Basingstoke render repairWe rebuild a chipped corner on the Basingstoke house so the line is straight again. A broken reveal gets the same rebuild. A reveal is the return at the edge of a window. A door has that same return. We fix a bead on that corner before the face coat. A bead is a slim metal angle that keeps the corner straight. We bring the new coat down to a clean stop just above the ground. We then leave that coat to harden.
