Hi
The rendering on the outside of my house is cracked in numerous places, does this mean I have to have it all taken off and replaced? its damp in various places now, and is it a really expensive job? I live in the Birmingham area so appreciate any help
Thanks |

If it's dead ie gives a hollow knock when it is tapped then yes it is best to remove and start again
