Repairs and rendering: Late victorian terraced house with external Wall Coating

This terraced house in Plymouth, Devon, (built circa 1890) had serious structural issues. The Render was literally falling off in chunks, the bay window was collapsing, and it had bad penetrating damp! (more…)

MAJOR PROJECT: This house was used as a rental income by it’s owner, but it had deteriorated so badly that it could not be rented out until several issues had been repaired. The house had suffered bomb damage by the German Luftwaffe in the horrendous Plymouth Blitz during WW2 and was hastily repaired at the time, as were any homes and buildings around affected by the conflict. (there are in fact many places in the city where Bomb damage is still evident!)

The temporary repairs were covered over by previous builders and forgotten about over time, until recently, when the bay window at the front literally started to collapse into the road!

We pinned the walls together using reinforced steel rods, replaced the lintels over all the doors and windows, rendered it, and then coated it with an exterior textured wall coating. This house is now free of damp and also structurally sound. It will also look this good for potentially the next 25 years.

As you can see, Never Paint Again don’t just paint house walls, they do a whole lot more! No matter how bad a house is, we can restore it to its former glory, AND make it free of future maintenance!
