Thanks Nod, how do I contact the k-rend rep? Do you have any contact details please?

Many thanks for your reply, he used one tub of sealant before applying the k-rend, he has used mesh, but I am wondering if he's applied it to the whole area. When I have tapped the wall where all the cracks are and it all sounds hollow. Shall see what he says on Monday when he turns up.

I'm just thinking of sacking this fella and get someone else to do the job. A month in, he's made an absolute mess in the 2 days and 3 hrs he did turned up. Never got an explanation of why he cleared off today. My neighbours are going to have a word with him on Monday over getting the work rectified. He's not getting any £ until he sorts this out.

Thanks for your replies. Due to the property being old, it had a sand and cement render, there has been a sealant applied prior to the k-rend and a mesh has been used. It's not been overly hot or sunny. The photos of that part of the wall, that render had 2 coats 2 weeks ago, now it looks like a spiders web with all the cracks. Some of the cracks have appeared where the wall is shaded. He was supposed to complete the work today but he just cleared off.

I am in the process of having the gable wall k-rendered. The workmen where supposed to continue with the work today, they where meant to start it a month ago, have it all completed but they have done 2 days and half a day 3 hrs so far. Today they turned up but cleared off, I was showing a friend the wall and noticed so many cracks in the k-rend and when tapped it sounds hollow! Rang the workman, told him, asked why he cleared off today and he said he would turn up on Monday morning to look at all the cracks in the k-rend. I've had enough of all the messing around. What needs to be done to resolve the k-rend cracking? Knock it off and start again? Any advice would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you
