External wall insulation Cambridgeshire

Project Description

A couple in Cambridgeshire needed a rendering company who could change the look of their property and run the project independently.

Brickwork at the front of the property was in two different colours and grades. The lower course had been injected with a damp course treatment, which left the bricks looking unsightly. The customer also asked to remove the existing mock Tudor fascias to create a whole new look.

2. Masking

Mask windows, doors and surrounding areas using clipper tape and heavy-duty paper . Protect the driveway with tarpaulins

3. Restoration and Repair
