Hi All...
My wife noticed this damage to the render on the outside of our house...
It is only a small patch, but it's on the corner... Just wondering what would be the best solution to fix this.????
All help gratefully accepted..
Cheers

Hello @Jolly181
Thanks for sharing your question about repairing the render on the side of the house.
I suggest using a Mr. Clean Handheld Iron Scrub Brush or similar to brush out the loose render that might still be there. I recommend using a Sabco Jumbo Wash Sponge to dampen the exposed render before patching it with mortar. You will need a Craftright 150mm Pointing Trowel to mix the mortar and to apply it to the damaged area. I recommend using the Dingo Fast Set Mortar - 3kg mixed with water to repair the damage. Mix only the amount you think will need to repair the area. Make sure to place the unused mortar in a ziplock bag for future repairs. It sounds like an interesting repair job, any photo updates you can provide while you fix it would be much appreciated.

That's looking fantastic, @Jolly181! I've sure @EricL will be very impressed.
Just a touch of paint, and you'll be done. Did you need any recommendations for the paint? My personal choice would be Dulux Weathershield. Your paint appears to be either low sheen or matt.
Many thanks for the update.

The paint used for the house will be fine @Jolly181. @EricL is taking a well-deserved break at the moment, but we've both tagged him, so he'll be notified of your success upon his return.
Can I just add, you've done an excellent job of replicating the same texture as the surrounding render. That's the hardest part of repairs like these. I trust you won't even be able to see the repair once painted.
Great work!

Hello @Jolly181
That is an outstanding repair job! As my colleague has mentioned, you've even managed to match the finish on your original render. I'm sure you and your wife are very pleased with the repair. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the patch painted. If you have any future repair projects lined up, please keep us updated.
We look forward to seeing more.
Eric
