    Outside wall and plaster?
  • I think he means render rendering as plaster wouldn't last two minutes in the rain. Unless its the outside wall but in a garage?
    I'm not poor i'm just skint
  • Sorry I don't know the tech term for it but it maybe rendering (putting cement mix on a small area of the outside wall - underneath the big vestibule window :-) thnx

    I hope you told your handyman that it's 'outside plastering' (i.e. rendering), as the materials required are rather different!
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Yes he came and had a look - £50 for couple of hours of work and he will remove the plaster of the entire area and then relay it .. is this charge ok?

    Yes, a very reasonable charge, but it's not plastering-it is rendering.
    He'll need to cut back any blown areas beyond where it's actually fallen off.
