Title: Rendering - Do I need it? Post by Lullington Garth on Feb 4th, 2017, 2:32pm Hello, We are currently looking at purchasing an 1820's sandstone windmill. It is currently rendered to a high standard. The rendering is in good condition but is not a great colour. There is an extension to the windmill, built in the sixties. This is smooth rendered, but the rendering is in a far worse state. I have three questions:
Thank you in advance. |

It may be worth getting a quote to remove the 60s render and getting it replaced with one that matches the original render. |
