Great, thanks. We did think we might need to get the front of the house re- rendered totally around the front door where it's really bad. Appreciate the reply.

Thanks everyone. Really appreciate the time taken to reply. Unfortunately insurance won't touch it because they say just poor workmanship. It's going to be coming out of our pocket. We can't afford to rip it all off so sounds like the removing beads will be the best way to go. It hasn't been painted in the eight years it's been up. Majority of the paintwork is fine but just the odd bubble and if you press it, it just flakes away. Not in a particularly exposed location either.

Hi, Hoping someone can help us out here with some advice/expertise! We are at such a loss of what needs to be done to fix this problem, we've been told by some people that we need to remove the beads and replace them and then replaster over and paint the whole house and some have told us the whole house needs the render removed and restarted (obviously very expensive!). Our house is about eight years old (small developer, no NHBC certificate, just an architects certificate that doesn't help us) but we have significant damage to the render. The builders are refusing to help and have told us it isn't their issue. We obviously have the rust issue but also the paintwork is damaged as well. Is anyone able to offer any advice about what needs to be done? When we bought the house four years ago the damage has been painted over so this wasn't an expense we were expecting to have to pay out for! We'd be extremely grateful, thank you so much for reading.
