Mr Blobby Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago (edited) I was surprised when the krend installer sprayed the walls yesterday when rain was forecast. Two hours after spraying it rained fairly hard for a few hours. Which is a shame because no rain is forecast today and its no colder. Render team back on site rubbing down and the back wall is like this in a few places. ... Is this just part of the normal drying process and to be expected or is it more serious rain damage and should I be concerned? Thought I'd ask here before I ask the render guy.

Redbeard Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Hard to tell from a photo, but based on what I seem to see yes, I think I'd be a bit concerned. The 'bald patches' look like... well, bald patches, where the grit has not spread evenly. But maybe I am seeing what's not actually there... Are the 'bald' patches smooth?

Yes, it looks like it has washed off. A bit silly rendering in the rain.
Conor Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago We had that. Renders put another skim in the affected areas, not noticeable since.
Redbeard Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago (edited) In my limited experience It was b----y hard to do an 'invisible mend' on patches like that. I hope your patches don't 'show'. My experience was doing it myself. If someone else is doing it for you then they have to try to get the 'invisible mend', and arguably re-do it if they cannot. Again, hopefully the pictures are not 'telling the story', and it's not what I think. EDIT: @Conor must have posted his while I was 'composing'. He got an 'invisible mend' - things can obviously be more positive than I suggested. Good! And good luck. Edited 1 hour ago by Redbeard Cross-posted with @Conor
