I have had a quotation for rendering my garage, and would appreciate any feedback on whether there’s anything to query/change in terms of the method proposed.

 

I asked for it to match the finish to my porch as far as possible so it ties in.

 

 

“Fit angle beads to all angles as required, fit battens to Dpc line ready to form a new bell cast, apply a 10mm scratch coat of sand and cement render to exterior of new garage with a built in waterproof additive, when cured apply a 13mm render coat of sand and cement, again incorporating a waterproof additive, when cured remove batten from under the newly formed bell cast and apply a sand and cement Tyrolean finish to all new render to finish”

 

All sounds fine to me apart from expecting some sort of bead along the bottom rather than a batten to form the shape. Is that an old school way which gives a better finish or a cheaper lazier method? 
 

(He did say Tyrolean is a finish in its own right vs sand and cement but suggested sand and cement would suffice as I’d be painting it to match)

 

@nod probably one for you

Yes it is Tyroleon finish 

As above The Baton to form the bell cast is old school

Better to fit the baton and sit a bell cast bead on top Then remove the baton the following day 

Waterproofer in the top coat is a bad idea as the Tyrolean will run 

Amit the waterproofer from the top coat and add a spade of hydrated lime This will add suction and give the Tyrolean something to grip onto 

Thanks nod.
