Render removal

Recommended Posts

HI,


We're thinking of removing our cracked (and damp-causing) concrete render, hoping to keep the just the brick underneath, and are looking for contractor recommendations. We've already approached Mahon, so looking for some alternatives to provide a quote.


We would be interested to hear from people who have had this work done recently, and whether you'd recommend the contractors you used...


Many thanks

Kate

Hi, Not sure if you're still looking but we just had the front of our house cleaned (pebbledash and tyrolean removal on victorian house) and it was done by Joe at LondonKent Brick Removal. I can't recommend him highly enough, the job itself was completed to a very high standard, results look fantasic and he was a real pleasure to have around for the 5weeks it took to undertake. Certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Thanks for the recommendation Londontraveller - I think we maybe had a look at your house after we also booked Joe for the work.


We would also highly recommend Joe from LondonKent Brickwork - Tel: 07808537289 email: [email protected]


We had very thick concrete render removed front and back, bricks repaired and replaced, original headers repaired, very smart pointing, and a few areas of re-render (eg around bay, and front door). Joe and Brad were great to work with, and very considerate of family life and our neighbours too. Joe talked through all elements of the job, and kept us well informed of any price implications / changes.


We are delighted with the results and he's already started work on another house 3 doors down the road.

    • Hello, I'm looking for an entertainer for my 9 year old son's birthday party. Looking for someone who can organise some games for the kids as my son and his friends are quite active. Regards, Sue
    • My son’s primary school hatched duck eggs, probably under this scheme around 12 years ago.  We were all very upset to hear that 2 of the (5 year old) boys had knocked the incubator over & all eggs smashed.   feeling a lot less sad about that now!  
    • What would I do about cyclists?  The failed Tory manfesto commitment to train all kids was an excellent proposal.  Public information campaigns aimed at all road users, rather than singling some out, to more considerately share the road, as TfL have done, is welcome too. As for crunching vehicles.  I'd extend this to illegal ebikes, illegal e-scoooters (I think some local authorities have done this with the latter) but before that I would (a) legislate that the delivery companies move away from zero hours contracts to permanent employees and take responsibility for their training, vehicles and behaviour on the road.   More expensive takeaways are a price worth paying for safer roads and proper terms and conditions (b) legislate to register all illegal e-bikes and scooters so that when they are found on the road the retailer takes a hit, and clamp down on any grey markets.  If you buy an e scooter say from Halfords this comes with a disclaimer that it can only be used on private land with the owner's permission.
    • I know a lot of experts in the field and getting a franchise was a license to print money, that is why Virgin were so happy to spend lots of dosh challenging government ten years ago when they lost the West Coast franchise.  This will not be overnight, rather than when the franchise has come to the end. Government had previously taking over the operator of last resort when some TOCs screwed up. Good, at last some clear blue water between the parties.  Tories said they were going to do a halfway house, but I've not noticed.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_British_Railways   : "On 19 October 2022, Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan announced that the Transport Bill which would have set up GBR would not go ahead in the current parliamentary session.[15] In February 2023, Transport Secretary Mark Harper re-affirmed the government's commitment to GBR and rail reform.[16] The 2023 King's speech announced the progression of a draft Rail Reform Bill which would enable the establishment of GBR, although it has not been timetabled in the Parliamentary programme.[5] The Transport Secretary Mark Harper later told the Transport Select Committee that the legislation was unlikely to reach Royal Assent within the 2023-2024 parliamentary session.[17]"
