Hi there, thanks for your comment. If you've bought your cottage you won't need any permission unless it's listed. It's probably worth mentioning it to neighbours though as it can take a while and be a bit noisy.... but well worth it. Start on a small area first and see how it goes. You'll be an expert by the time you're done !
This is great work! I have a 1850 stone cottage with a cement rendered front aspect and the front wall on the inside it so saturated. They have also used cement on the inside so it’s a right mess. I am going to have to strip it all back and repoint with lime. There needs to be more education around this. Is your house nice and dry and breathing properly now?
Hi Louis, thanks for your comment. Yes the house is absolutely dry now, no damp at all. Getting the render off was the key thing. With a bit of fresh air & sunlight on the lime mortar the moisture just wicked out of the walls and evaporated away as was intended when these old houses were built. We did also inject Dryzone cream just above the outside ground level to stop moisture being drawn from the ground. Good luck with your project, it's well worth the effort. Regards, Mark.
@@oldhouseresoration.5463 Thanks for the reply, I think I will do a little video to show what I’ve done. We have taken a 600mm strip back to stone at the base of the building and re pointed it in lime. The issue on mine is where the render has cracked and let water in which then can’t escape. At least the base can breather now, going to tackle the rest in spring.
thanks for the video, i have the same issue but on a stone built cottage from the 1800s, did you need to do anything to the decorative surfaces inside and have gypsum plaster etc? or did they dry once the walls could breath?
Thanks for your comment. I did take all the plaster off inside but that was because I decided to insulate all the outer walls. They were then plaster boarded over. That was about 5 years ago and I've had no problems at all . Any moisture in the wall can now evaporate out through the exposed lime mortar on the outside. Not a hint or whiff of damp inside. There is another vid on my channel with the interior work. Regards, Mark
@@markm5984 thanks for the reply, thats great to hear its been a success, and yes drylining the interior sounds like the best route, will check your other vid...thanks again!
Check out the videos from Peter Ward. He explains everything in detail in all of his videos. Cement and gypsum are enemies of an old houses. Plastic paint as well.
Hi there. To take the render of myself the cost was an aluminium scaffold ... I think it cost about £600 for the tallest one ( new from ebay) and about £60 for a cheap sds drill from toolstation. The sand blasting cost about £2500 but by that time I had a full scaffold around the house (scaffolding company) for the more major works on the windows, chimneys etc. The sandblaster will need a full scaffold.I think the full scaffold cost about £3k-ish it was up for about a month . These prices were about 7 years ago near York. If I can be of any more help, let me know 🙂 Regards, Mark.
Hi, I used a cheap SDS hammer drill from Toolstation. It cost no more than about £50 five years ago. I used a cheap chisel attachment and would definitely advise getting a pair of anti-vibration gloves. Actually, maybe paying a little more for a drill with some suspension in the handle would have been better. All in all it was cheap in relation to tools. I did buy an aluminium scaffold tower which was cheaper than renting one and can be resold afterwards, although I kept mine as it's been so useful for other jobs. If I can be of any more help let me know. 👍
Hi there. Thanks for your comments. The render was really well stuck on and it really was a case of nibbling away at it with an sds drill a few mm at a time. I did a bit here and there when I had time and when the weather permitted. I think i did it over about 6 months some weekends and evenings..... just when I could fit in a few hours. it was actually enjoyable and you soon get a feel for how to do it best. Very therapeutic watching the render chip away and the house underneath being revealed. I'd honestly do it again as a relaxation exercise ! I would recommend getting an sds drill with a cushioned grip... doesn't have to be expensive and also some special shock absorbing gloves. Amazon have them for working with power tools.. Good luck with your project. 👍

First class. 8 months ! Respect to your dedication, tenacity and perseverance. This Architect approves!
Exceptional work on the outside house. Very well done putting everything back
Its great to see someone restore such a beautiful house.
Thank you. 👍
Beautiful job
Just come across your vid…the house now looks amazing…congratulations on a job very well done!
Looks stunning
Thank you, it was worth the effort 👍🙂
The entrance door is lovely
Looks amazing and what a great video production but please get rid of the picket fence at the front and put a we hedge up.
Have done that Chris, there's now a nice privet hedge in place of the crappy fence👍🙂
Beautiful!
Did the sand blasting damage the face of the bricks?
No, the bricks were all in good shape afterwards. I did apply a coat of stormdry to the end of the house that takes most of the bad weather.
Amazing work
Fantastic job i have just bought a old cottage one in a row with render on would love to take it of do you have to get permission

Could i ask how much did it cost to remove rendering, with sand blasting, gutting , just starting similar project myself

Great job! I'm contemplating attempting a similar job but on just the front... how long did each side take?
