K Rend

[nod]

I called out to look at a K Rend job today on a nursing home that has some render  issues 

The render is coming away from the EPS  1076 m2 of EPS and render will all have to come off 
It turns out that the contract 2 plus 1 gang has used standard k Rend rather than LW1 Rend 

 

I’m sat here doing a quote and there won’t be any change out 

of 60k Plus the cost of getting rid of a mountain of wast 

 

Be very careful who you employ

Does it really all have to come off, EPS and all?

 

I have an issue with a different make of thin render where it is blistering in places. the resolution has been delayed by the bug, but in my case I am certain it is just the top thin coat separating from the base coat and I am sure it will just be strip the top coat and re apply.

It will Dave 

 

Unlike the thin coat the LW1 is designed not to need a base coat 

6 mill coat then mesh troweled in 

Not scratched 

Top coat after an hour 

 

If they had used the correct K rend 

K rend would have covered the cost 

The builder does t want to be in the same position in 12 months time 

 

I’m surprised the render supplier won’t cover the cost of sorting yours out 

I would scrape all the effected areas prime and thin coat the complete panel

The verbal offer I have is the supplier will cover the material, and the plasterer will re do the affected areas for free.

 

The sticking point is the company rep wants to visit the site and see it and agree to that, but that site visit is on hold until they return to normal business.

 

I am not stripping anything off until that visit has happened.
