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.

    • Can’t recommend Brian and his team enough! It’s not every day that you can secure complete peace of mind with someone who combines very high-quality work with transparency and honesty. Brian and his team went the extra mile to give the project a perfect finish, as they have done with several jobs in the neighbourhood. Happy to have him as the top save in my contacts for future works and would highly recommend for all aspects of internal and external works!! Glad to have this team in our community!
    • Please rescue. There are plenty of kittens waiting in shelters for a loving home. Try reaching out to https://straycatclub.org.uk/ You can also find an endless list of shelters down below: https://www.catchat.org/index.php/cat-rescue-centres-uk-ireland You should be vetted to ensure you can provide a suitable environment. Unlike breeders, shelters ensure kittens have been spayed/neutered, microchipped & recieve their vaccination.  
    • hellosailor, I feel you on this one. People continue to breathe life into the misconceptions that cats are low-maintenance, natural wanderers or that they can't be prevented from accessing a road - all of which no doubt contributes to these harsh measures. Shelters would do better using their position & platforms to educate rather than applying blanket rules that alienate potential adopters. It does sound like there are inconsistencies in the way Celia Hammond operates. I know of people who have adopted despite not providing a truly suitable environment for their cats. Personally, I was heartbroken to learn that two of the kittens that I had fostered, after being adopted, would later go "missing" on a regular basis. It's a stark reminder that while safety precautions are crucial, overly rigid policies may push well-meaning people toward buying instead of adopting, undermining the very mission of rescue organisations. TWB has taken the initiative to lead by example, teaching clients the importance of mental & physical enrichment, & having policies in place to prevent, for example, the dangers that come with giving cats access to the streets. It has become far too commonplace to see posts regarding cats who have been run over, only for the owners to adopt & repeat the cycle all over again. If shelters could provide insight on why these measures are in place & solutions, these shelters would not only free space within their shelters but educate the public & the overall standards of responsible pet ownership in London. Celia Hammond is a charity most are familiar with, but there are so many others listed within this link; https://www.catchat.org/index.php/cat-rescue-centres-uk-ireland An up & coming charity that is not found in this link, that deserves an honorable mention is https://straycatclub.org.uk/  
    • Looking for a new member of the family.  Will be looking into cat resuce centre's as well before anyone mentions. But my son is in adoration with Kittens and would like to bring one up from a young age. If anyone has any leads, they would be most welcome.
