I really like the look of red-brick, but just can't see a feasable way that we can get back to our brickwork being in good condition. I'm sure you would agree if you were here and seeing it first-hand.
I have the guy that did our plastering coming round soon to quote, it will be interesting to hear what he has to say on it.
As said before it is a last resort. Once render is applied it is virtually non removable without LOTS of work. Also, it in some cases will lose appeal to future buyers. Rendered properties genrally hide a multitude of sins..ie who knows whats under there?????
Reinstating original brickwork and keeping to the original brickwork theme imo is the way to go..
As i say Christian, its all in my opinion...but i trust my opinion and i wouldnt have anyone change my mind over it
