House Rendering in North East England

Hello folks, welcome back. In this video I'm basically just going to show you around the house and show you what the lads from Elite Rendering are doing with regard to rendering the house. That looks a bit different to what it used to. Used to all be pebble dashed, some of it still is, but it's getting better. Okay so in this shot we've kind of got the different stages of the rendering process laid out for us. We've got the original pebble dash which of course looks awful just like old pebble dash. Then we've got some beading around the windows here. The windows have been masked off and we've also got beading along the bottom and then we've got the wall in the process of The walls are being painted. with a very sticky sandy resinous sort of stuff which will give the render a really good chance of sticking to the wall um in fact it doesn't just give it a chance to stick into the wall it allows it to grab permanently obviously that pink stuff is gonna go all the way over there the whole wall is going to be painted pink it's going to end up looking like Elton John's house but all that's going to be covered with the render and that goes on in two coats It's a really good quality render with like a 10 year guarantee and this is what it ends up looking like. That's two coats of render. You can see the difference between pebble dash and render. What a hell of a difference it makes. Just brightens the house up, cleans it up, makes it look really modern and they've done a beautiful job of putting it on here. Now those gutters are a little bit skewed because we haven't put those on properly, at least we haven't put the downcomers on properly. They're just kind of propped up in position there until the job's finished and then we can fix them to the wall. They're ultimately going to go down here and this is a massive patio which I'll show in a different video because that goes on forever. Good job! Good job! Look at that. Whee! Anyway this is what we're looking at today. This is the render. You can see that's totally cock-eyed there. That would normally go into the wall and down so we need to sort that out. Here's what the front of the house looks like now, and bear in mind all this used to be pebble dashed. It now looks really bright and smart. We need to give that a bit of a paint, but it's looking alright. I've got to say, the lads have done a really outstanding job. I mean, I'll just give you a close-up of what it's like down here on the joints, you know, around the windows. Zoom in on that. Good finish. You know, I mean, it's a proper job, you know. And we're also getting the chimney stacks done as well. We've got a big one here. One over there and I mean you can see the problem that we were having with the render and the pebble dash. Look at the state of that. It's been patched up a few times it looks absolutely awful. That's going to get rendered the same colour as the house which is G20 which is like a an off-white ivory sort of a colour. I'm really really pleased with this. Obviously it's like a bomb site below it because all that's going to be patio. When that gets done This lawn is going to get levelled up and we're going to have a cracking view. Stone circle going up here, looking out over that. Now when that render goes on, it's actually smooth. And they wait for it to more or less harden, and then they've got this pad with loads of little teeth on that they just rub round and kind of scrape it like that, and that gives it the textured finish. It's almost like orange peel. It's a really nice dimpled finish. You know, it looks really nice. When they're on rendering tomorrow, I'll get a little bit of footage of them rendering, just so you can see exactly how it goes on and what it's like when they're creating that finish on it. Now the job's coming to a close now, we've only got two more days, we've got them on just painting that wall around the far side, they're going to be putting the edging, like the beading, up on the chimney stacks, and then tomorrow that big wall and the chimney stacks are getting rendered. So when it's all done, and the scaffolding is down, I'll bring you around again and show you what a transformation this has made. I mean it's not cheap, but it's not ridiculously expensive, we've saved up. for the work that we're getting done around the place this summer and that's why you haven't really seen me out and about in a lot of the videos because i've just had so much to do around the place obviously we're getting other people in to do this but there's been a lot of organization a lot of cleaning up and i'm busy with my business it's going mad this lawn is going to be totally restored reseeded it's going to get scarified overseeded fed Maintained, edging to go on. I'll be doing that, so there's a mountain of work to do until it's absolutely finished. In a separate video, I'll show you how the patio is progressing. That is going to be a hell of a project. So if you're interested in getting your house rendered and you're in the North East, I'll put Elite Renderings contact details in the video description. I'll also do that in the follow-up video that I'll do to this one where we will show the finished job. Because I'm really pleased with it, and more importantly, the wife is really pleased with it. It doesn't matter what I think, if she's happy, I'm happy. Good stuff.
