Paul, you have been a great help.
We usually supply materials in the rare instances that we pay anyone to do work for us!! Beccy tends to shop hard and gets good trade prices out of Ridgeons/Travis Perkins etc.
The guy that did our plastering will quote for the rendering, but I don't intend to just go straight with him.
I find that I think about it too much. Stuff like.....
Will the fascia's need to come off? (these are going to be redone sometime soon, but not yet)
What happens at ground level? Do you end up with a visible ridge??
This is why I want to pay someone to do it, I can get my head round most stuff, but this job is one for a pro!!!
