Successful installation of external wall insulation and a coloured render finish to this home IN Manchester.
Project Description
A couple in Manchester was looking for a rendering company that could enhance the appearance of their property while managing the entire project independently.
The front brickwork featured two different colors and textures, with the lower section treated with a damp-proof course, leaving the bricks looking uneven. Additionally, the homeowners requested the removal of the existing mock Tudor fascias to achieve a completely new aesthetic.
Work Description
1. Preparation
- Erect scaffolding to access the upper left-hand side of the property.
2. Masking and Protection
- Cover windows, doors, and surrounding areas using clipper tape and heavy-duty paper.
- Protect the driveway with tarpaulins to prevent any damage or debris accumulation.
3. Restoration and Repair
- Remove timber fascias and re-render the exposed areas to ensure a smooth, uniform finish.
- Install angle beading on the lower brickwork and apply a two-coat sand and cement render.
- Remove redundant cables and outdated light fittings.
- Spray Tyrolean render on the upper half of the side and rear elevations to create a fresh, cohesive look.
- Even out old repairs and scarring on the existing pebbledash/render for a seamless appearance.
4. Bag Rubbing
- Apply a PVA and mortar mix to waterproof the render and Tyrolean finish.
5. Primer Coat
- Apply Andura Classic Primer, a high-performance base coat designed for masonry surfaces, ensuring excellent adhesion and weather resistance.
6. Final Coat
- Use specialist spray equipment to apply Andura Classic 21 wall coating, concealing any repairs and providing a smooth, aesthetically pleasing finish.
